AZOYCHKA TOMATO SEEDS

Solanum lycopersicum

ORGANIC

Collected by Seed Savers' Exchange co-founder Kent Whealy on a seed gathering excursion in Russia, this beautiful and truly yellow tomato is incredibly early and impervious to cool damp weather.

The rich and balanced flavor of Azoychka has more in common with red tomatoes than most yellows. Surprisingly large half-pound fruits ripen as soon as 60 days from transplanting, even in less than ideal conditions. Indeterminate. Highly recommended for maritime climates and short growing seasons.

Start tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost: sow seeds about 1/8" deep in moist soil, pressing to keep seed snug, and mist generously with warm water. Cover with plastic to maintain moisture and temperature. Kept warm (75°F) and moist in bright light, seeds will germinate in about a week. Prick out seedlings once they have true leaves to grow on in individual 3" pots or 2” cells in bright light at room temperature. Fertilize weekly with dilute fish and seaweed extracts. Harden off and transplant to the garden when night temperatures are above 55°F.

Packet contains at least 15 seeds.
