Only 4 days since these seeds were planted under the dome and the pear tomatoes are almost 2 inches tall! I can’t get over how well these germinated. I was worried and put two seeds in each spot. Every seed cell except for 1 has two plants each that germinated! I can’t wait to get these growing on my patio!

These heirloom citrusy tasting small pear shaped tomato clusters will mature in 70 days.

By my calculations we should be ready to eat these yellow tomatoes by April 4th. We’ll have any extra plants for sale at the Crossroads Feed store Chicken swap February 20th.

🍓🍓 Planting Tips!!
Plant as soon as possible in the spring, after the soil has warmed. Planting at the correct depth is very important! Dig a hill deeply enough that you are able to place the plant into the ground without bending the roots. Set plants in the ground with the roots straight down. Make certain that the plants are set with the middle of the crown level with the top of the soil. We advice to never cut the roots off your plants.
Take care that the soil is pressed firmly, but not hard packed around the plant roots. Be sure to not cover the crown. Check the soil level within a week or so, as the soil will likely settle.
Avoid covering crowns with soil while you how, w**d and cultivate throughout the season.
