Planting Instructions for Delicious Tomato Seeds

Start Delicious 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 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 Delicious tomato plants, add 1 Tbs of aged compost and 1 Tbs of bone meal to the bottom of the hole as well.

    this is a very good tomato.

    Grew this variety in zone 7b and in the 80 degree weather they grew prolifically, big clusters of huge tomatoes (the record was #1 4 oz) that began to ripen nicely. However, as the weather became hotter, in the 90+ degrees, literally ALL the tomatoes began to rot on the tops well before ripening which was really disappointing. Maybe this variety is for cooler climates? Of the 10 varieties we grew this year, the consensus among family and friends was that “Delicious” was the least delicious. Disappointed overall.
