Glacier Tomato
Open pollinated. Heirloom 55 days. Determinate. Glacier is one of the first tomatoes to ripen even when the plants are still small. Sweet, flavorful, 2-3 oz. crack resistant fruits do exceptionally well in cool northern areas and make a good winter crop in Florida. Spreading plants look a little straggly at first but grow into a nice full bush. Commonly produces 60 fruits, sometimes more and keeps producing unless felled by disease. Good choice for containers. Said to be an heirloom of Swedish origin. Planting Directions: Plant seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting in spring. Sow seed 1/2” deep in sterile starting soil, maintaining a soil temperature of 65° to 95°. Germinates in 6-10 days if soil is kept at 85°. When seedlings are 10 days old replant (if using seedling trays) into 2” or 4” pots. Transplant outdoors when soil temperatures are at least 70° in well drained soil enriched with organic matter or a general purpose fertilizer. Space plants 2’ to 3’ apart. Avoi
