A very delicious slicing variety.

Harvest Timing: Late Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ Amazingly Delicious and Healthy Plant

This plant grows healthy and sets a lot of very large fruit. The tomatoes are sweet and delicious with great depth of flavor. I normally don't like yellow tomatoes, favoring the stronger flavors of reds and blacks, but this one is on my permanent grow list. The plant was healthy through the season, and if not for frost, would have kept producing. The plant also stayed in the 4-5 ft range for me. I allowed it grow bushy in a cage with minimal pruning, and found it to be surprisingly well behaved for a tomato plant. Don't get me wrong - it's still a tomato plant, but it's not the insanity of growth many varieties have. :D Seriously though - this tomato is soooo good. Highly recommend.
