Description
Solanum lycopersicum
So cool! Bell pepper shaped with thick walls and hollow center--perfect for stuffing!
Beautiful red skin streaked with yellow covers thick, blocky walls with very little pulp and seeds in the center. Makes a great stuffer indeed, but it’s also wonderful in salsas and sauces where you don’t want a lot of juice!
Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well.
Indeterminate. Open-pollinated.
Seeds grown by Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho, and Rich Felton in Rawlins, Wyoming.
30 seeds.
Directions: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant out after. Bury past first set of leaves, add eggshells to soil for calcium, and provide support.
