Park’s Season Starter lets you begin Tomato harvesting just a bit sooner than others. The compact plant is very heavy-bearing, so expect a full harvest of delectable fruit. Resistant to cracking, they hold on the plant very well after ripening. If you like to put up tomatoes, this is a great choice, because you can harvest it all at once, and have masses of uniform, succulent, tangy tomatoes for canning.
Resistant to fusarium race 1, verticillium wilt, and tobacco mosaic virus, Park’s Season Starter is a good choice for new gardeners. It grows quickly and well, and its compact habit means less tying and staking. The season is over just 2 months or so from transplanting the seedlings into the garden — and what a glorious season it is! You can sow these seeds at 2- or 3-week intervals if you want successive harvests all summer long, too.
A great choice for northern climates, where the growing season is short, Park’s Season Starter is also a good “last minute” tomato — sow it and harvest it quickly if the season has gotten away from you! This delicious variety brings the joy of big harvests to any garden!
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart. Pkt is 30 seeds.
Love the taste of this kind of tomato!
