As a tribute to Colorado mountain seed breeder Casey Piscura, we are offering these wonderful seeds at a low cost (select either "Low Cost Packet" or "Packet" below-- both come with approx 25 seeds). Casey founded Wild Mountain Seeds and Seed Peace. He worked for many years to combine the rich flavors of his tomato grex with the earliness of the famous "Early Girl" tomato. On top of that, he spent many years improving disease resistance! It is a true masterpiece that we want to share with as many gardeners as possible. Send some to your friends!

A true mountain gem! This determinate saladette variety known for its compact size and reliable production. It produces bright red, medium sized, 1.5-2" fruits that are firm with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. The uniformity makes the tomatoes excellent for slicing and canning. Bred for disease resistance and durability, they thrive in cooler climates and shorter growing seasons. This variety holds up well on the vine and is crack-resistant.

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors under grow lights or in a greenhouse 6-8 weeks before last frost. Transplant 2+ weeks after last frost when soil has warmed a bit. Space plants at least 3 feet apart. Support growth with tomato cages, a trellis or wire. Water regularly at the base of the plant. 

Seed Saving Instructions: When fully ripe, pick your tastiest fruits from the most vigorous plants. Cut open and squeeze seeds and juice into a jar. Secure a cloth over the jar so air can enter. Ferment the juice and seeds in the jar for 2-3 days. Then strain and rinse the seeds. Dry on a screen or cloth. Store seeds in a paper or mesh bag in a cool, dark and dry location.
