HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES JUST TASTE BETTER!

Egg Yolk tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet.  Egg Yolk has a fantastic flavor(did I say DELICIOUS?!?!), is golden yellow, and the size of a large cherry tomato. VERY productive. It has performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance.

Back in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomaotes. Unfortunately, they are no longer selling heirloom tomato seed, boo! Anyway, I bought 100 or so varieties and have been growing them out ever since. One of the tomatoes I've grown, that has been a favorite, and one I have grown several times is EGG YOLK. 

78 days from setting out transplants. Indeterminate.

Some gardeners describe Egg Yolk as the most productive tomato in their garden -- and that's really saying something! The size and color of real egg yolks, these bite-sized treats are irresistible straight from the vine as well as in sauces, salads, and sandwiches. Have you found a new favorite? We think it's highly likely!

Discovered as a sport in an American garden, Egg Yolk is one of those happy accidents that gardeners love. The plant just keeps growing and growing and growing, setting new fruit long after many others have closed up shop for the season. Get your tomato cages ready to stack -- Egg Yolk is reaching for the sky!

These fruits are both tart and sweet, about an inch in diameter and very thin-skinned. This makes them not the most crack-resistant, long-holding variety you will find. Instead, this is a tomato you see turning yellow, you pick, and you eat, all in one swift movement! The flavor is extraordinary for a cherry -- rich, meaty, and creamy, really developed and satisfying. It makes us realize how poor many varieties really are. Egg Yolk is the real thing.

Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55°F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2½ feet apart. Resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus 2. 

Quick note: My seeds are grown, harvested and selected by me. I start ALL of my seedlings/transplants, so you know there are no chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or harsh commercial fertilizers used in the products I produce. I use organic fertilizer, compost, and red worm castings, that's it! I do not buy foreign seeds or seeds that are out of date. I have been growing these varieties for years and they are proven winners. You will not be dissapointed.

INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
  • I grow all my own varieties and harvest all of my own seeds. All of my seeds are fermented, strained, washed, dried, and stored at 34 degrees f until you purchase them. I have been saving seed for 7 years and this is the step by step process I use every year and I'll tell you, my germination rates are amazing! 
 
  • a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I have just planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 this last summer 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% range and these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!

At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. 

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated  and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.  

WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes and other vegetable varieties are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes/vegetables, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes/vegetables are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don?t stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes and vegetables are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids, but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor. This is true for all heirloom vegetables.
