Pike County Yellow tomato BIG yellow heirloom non-gmo YUMM!

Description: Quick note: My seeds are grown, harvested and selected by me. I start ALL of my seedlings/transplants, so you know there are no chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or harsh commercial fertilizers used in the products I produce. I use organic fertilizer, compost, and red worm castings, that's it! I do not buy foreign seeds or seeds that are out of date. I have been growing these varieties for years and they are proven winners. You will not be dissapointed MADE IN THE USABack in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes. Unfortunately, they are no longer selling heirloom tomato seed, boo! Anyway, I bought 100 or so varieties and have been growing them out ever since. One of the tomatoes I've grown, that has been a favorite, and one I have grown several times is PIKE COUNTY YELLOW. It has performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit, up to 40 lbs per plant!, and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance. PIKE COUNTY YELLOW tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet. PIKE COUNTY YELLOW has a fantastic flavor(did I say DELICIOUS?!?!), is bright yellow, and large! VERY productive. Kentucky heirloom, grown by the same family in Pike County, Kentucky, since at least the 1950s. Introduced commercially in 2009 by Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and Southern Exposure Seed. Indeterminate, regular leaf plant produces loads of pretty 12-16 oz., yellow/orange fruit with delicious mildly sweet flavors. A good producer over a long season. A good choice for slicing into salads and sandwiches or even a wonderful sauce. Orange-yellow fruit of beefsteak type 12-16 oz. and 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Flattened shape with a little pronounced rib at the top, slight rippling of the shoulders especially on large fruits. Beef flesh is dense and fleshy with fine texture. Sweet and fruity flavor, excellent. Variety very productive and this is over a long period. Note that there is a pink version of this variety: "Pike County Pink Kentucky Heirloom".Indeterminate. Plants with regular leaf foliage. Large yellow beefsteaks great flavor. Very nice full flavor, with some sweet taste.85 days, with a high yield of up to 1 lb yellow beefsteak fruit with a good mild/sweet flavor. Super yield of light yellow tomatoes. Flavor is excellent: fruity, juicy and sweet—much better than some of the bland “yellows”. Indeterminate, vines yielded abundantly in very hot and dry conditions. HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES JUST TASTE BETTER! INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONSI grow all my own varieties and harvest all of my own seeds. All of my seeds are fermented, strained, washed, dried, and stored at 34 degrees f until you purchase them. I have been saving seed for 7 years and this is the step by step process I use every year and I'll tell you, my germination rates are amazing! 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 and other vegetable varieties are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes/vegetables, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes/vegetables 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 and vegetables are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids, but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor. This is true for all heirloom vegetables.Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
