a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to
store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed
that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that
does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored
under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I have just planted
some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 this last summer 2017. They did great!
Germination rates were in the 90% range and these seeds had been sitting in
a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available
now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!
At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes,
peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties.
WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru
generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many
made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds
are never cross pollinated and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom
tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green,
Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.
WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified).
They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes
them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These
tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce
tomatoes all season. They don?t stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do
not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.
Please see my other listings and my store for more great
varieties and thank you!
