Tomato Homestead Heirloom Seeds Pack Of 10

Nutritional Value:

• The red tomato is listed on most nutritional lists as a super food.
• It is packed with the antioxidant vitamins A and C, potassium and the B vitamins for heart health, and above all a powerful carotenoid called lycopene.
• This phytonutrient, which is responsible for the bright red color of tomatoes, has been studied for its role in fighting various cancers, and its ability to lower cholesterol.
• When tomatoes are cooked, even more lycopene is made available.
• Lycopene has been shown to be especially effective when eaten with fat-rich foods such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts.

Planting/Growing Tips:
Most gardeners want to get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes and therefore give them a head start on the growing season.  Start these vegetable seeds indoors in sterile potting mix being sure. Some people prefer to use a grow pad but the top of the fridge has been known to be quite effective as well.

Once the first true leaves appear on your tomato seedlings, transplant into 4″ pots until you have completely hardened them off in the garden.  Hardening is a process of exposing the plants more and more to outside temperature until they are hardy enough to complete outdoor move.  Generally speaking, by early summer heirloom tomatoes should be transplanted into the garden.
