Organic Heirloom Tomato Seeds

German Johnson tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an heirloom beefsteak variety known for producing large, juicy tomatoes with a deep pink or crimson color and excellent flavor. With a high yield throughout the summer, this tomato is known for its vigor, productivity, and rich, full taste.

Every seed purchase supports regenerative agriculture and restoration of wild spaces.

Give tomato plants a head start by sowing seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your region’s last frost. Seed ¼ inch beneath the soil and expect germination in 7–10 days.

Transfer to 3–4 inch pots once plants put out their first true leaves. After last danger of frost has past, plant outside in full sun.

Water plants infrequently and deeply, every 3 days at most, as overwatering makes for a bland tasting tomato. Also, avoid overhead watering, as it can cause plant disease and make fruits split and rot. Provide a trellis or cage to encourage upward growth and keep fruit from touching the ground.

Tomatoes will mature from a deep green to a luscious pink or red. When fully ripened, they should feel firm yet gently soft to the touch. Plants will continue to produce fruit until the first frost, filling your garden with lush greenery and bountiful harvests all season long.
