GOLD MEDAL

GOLD MEDAL

Product Description:

75 days. The large yellow fruit have an interior blush of red and weigh over 1 pound, some reaching 2 pounds. They have a classic heirloom look: round and lobed with big blossom ends that some think are ugly. We see the beauty and enjoy the full, sweet, low acid tomato flavor. The indeterminate plants grow well in cool nighttime temperatures.

Inconsistent Ripening

Fruits were beautiful and huge (my largest was 2 lbs), but due to the size they ripened inconsistently and were prone to bad splits. They would go overripe on the bottom while still hard on the top. I found the flavor to be on the bland side, nothing special. It was fun to see how big they would get, but I won't be growing them again.

Stellar

These tomatoes are incredible. Gorgeous, gigantic and absolutely incredible and taste. All of the tomatoes from territorial seed did well and tasted incredible, but I think these were a house favorite. We are foodies and there is not one meal we've had where we haven't had a tomato to slice and eat raw. Sweet, no acid. The plants are well over 6 feet and still producing. All tomatoes from all varieties in zone 6b didn't start ripening until august. We had an animal eating random vegetables and knocking tomatoes down and ripened some green ones inside and were honestly, just as good. Highly recommend.

Amazing flavor

My tomatoes from TSC all did great last year, but his tomato was the sweetest and my personal favorite for flavor-drizzled in a concentrated balsamic vinegar-absolutely heaven/party in your mouth!

Culture
Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time
Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised
• Fertile, well-drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields
• Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom
• To prevent blossom end rot use a high calcium amendment
• Overwatering can cause fruit to crack

Direct Sowing
• Not recommended

Transplanting
• Sow seeds in trays 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3-4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears
• Strong light and cooler temperatures (60-70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days
• When transplanting work in compost, 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal
• Determinates can be spaced 18-24 inches apart, indeterminates 24-36 inches apart
• Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves
• Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants

Insects & Diseases
Common insects: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms
Insect control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms
Common diseases: Early and late blight
Disease prevention: A strict 3-4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide

Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when fully ripe, do not refrigerate for best flavor
