We have been growing
heirloom tomatoes for over 17 years and have some "new" rare varieties to offer you
for 2009. We
want these varieties to live on and we are offering as many seeds as we can of each one.
Seeds come in ziplock pouch with specific instructions on growing, variety
and some background on origin. You can reuse the bag for your future seeds. If you are
ordering early we suggest you store your seeds in the refrigerator until you are ready to
plant them. This is the best way for the home grower to store tomato seeds.
The plants the seeds
come from were organically grown during the 2008 season. By
organically grown we mean: only natural fertilizer is used, our soil is amended with our
own plant based organic compost. If needed we use only organically approved insect control. Several of the varieties
we offer have not been
available in the USA before. We use our own Golden Harvest
Fertilizer and C-Spray on these crops. The seeds from the best tomatoes are
harvested, fermented, cleaned, dried and put
in cold storage. The reason we ferment the seeds is to eradicate possibility of
disease, to remove the gel around the seeds which has a germination
inhibitor in it and to give you the healthiest seeds possible. We take
our tomatoes seriously at Golden Harvest Organics!
