Brad's Atomic Grape is a green-when-ripe grape tomato with red-orange and anthocyanin purple-black stipes. Tall, vine-like plants will produce many clusters of fruit in even a short season. Eat or cook the tomatoes as soon as they are ripe; they may not keep long.

(Some tomato varieties grown in direct sunlight may show more anthocyanin colouring than the same varieties grown in filtered light, such as inside a UV-blocking greenhouse.)

Seeds are harvested in 2020 from tomatoes raised from seed and grown in our garden in Edmonton, Canada.
Seeds stored cool and dry remain viable for several years.

When should you start tomato (and similar) seeds?
Our growing season here in Zone 3 is fairly short. We start our seeds indoors from late March through early April and set plants out in the garden around the end of May or a little later, when the soil is warm and the small plants will root in quickly and get off to a strong start. We aim to grow large plants that will remain vigorous and productive until autumn's hard frosts. If you have a longer growing season, you can start seeds at different times. You can sow indoors right through late winter and spring and set new seedlings into the garden from late spring to high summer. Just be sure the soil in your garden is warm when you transplant your seedlings into it, whether this is April or July or September. And when moving small plants outdoors, do so gradually -- a shady hour or two the first day, three or four semi-sunny hours the second day, and so on -- until they are "hardened off" and can stand up to a full day of strong sunlight. Once transplanted, the seedlings should have a good 10-12 weeks of warm/hot weather ahead in which to grow to maturity. For most tomato varieties, successful pollination and fruit set will occur during cooler weather (e.g. early summer). Fruit that goes on to develop and ripen during hot, dry weather will typically have better flavour and texture than fruit that develops and ripens during cool, wet weather.
