(Lycopersicon lycopersicum) 75-90 days     A pink, disease resistant variety released in 1961, the Bradley Heirloom Tomato produces a compact, bushy, determinate plant. Yielding generous amounts of deliciously sweet, old-fashioned flavored 8 to 10 oz. tomatoes it’s sure to become a new favorite in your garden! Fruit ripens in large numbers over a fairly concentrated time period, making it a great variety for canning and freezing, yet, tastes great sliced as well. The Bradley Tomato is one of the all time Southern favorites!

Planting Instructions for Bradley Tomato Seeds

Start Heirloom Bradley Tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Plant the Tomato seeds ¼” deep in sterile seed starting mix. Germination occurs in 6-14 days in soil 70-90°F. Once true leaves develop, separate Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomato plants into 3-4″ pots, placing in full light & cooler temps (60-70°F). Set out hardened off Tomato transplants, in full sun, once soil has warmed, 18-30″ apart, in rows 3-4′ apart. Plant tall, spindly Bradley tomato seedlings deeper, the stems will sprout roots and support and strengthen the plant. To help prevent blossom end rot, put 1 Tbs of lime, ground oyster shells, or crushed eggshells at the bottom of your planting hole. The calcium will help build strong cell walls once your heirloom tomatoes plants start producing fruit. For strong Bradley tomato plants, add 1 Tbs of aged compost and 1 Tbs of bone meal to the bottom of the hole as well.

Never make a decision without stopping to consider the matter in the presence of God. – St. Jose Maria Escriva
