Description: Yellow Master (that's what I'm calling them, accidental cross) tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet. Yellow Master is mild and has a good taste, is yellow, and round. Very productive. It has performed surprisingly 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 lots of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance. Note: I add lots of organic matter such as compost, red worm castings, leaves, etc. Does great in high heat areas, just maintain a consistent watering regimen, I use drip lines. Back in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomaotes. 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 BLACK MASTER. However this year I got something else when I planted seeds saved from Black master the year before...I'm speculating that there was a cross between my Black Master and Buckeye Yellow. I'm calling this new variety YELLOW MASTER. Black Master was the seed I thought I was saving. Again, I believe the year I saved the seed, I had Buckeye yellow cross with Black Master. When I go back and look at my garden map, I see Buckeye yellow as the closest tomato to Black Master. Anyway, I have only grown this seed out once and saved the seed that came from yellow fruit. That's what I'm selling here now. Good sized fruit 6-8 ounces, round, yellow with darker shoulders. Seed may be unstable or who knows, we could have a new variety. You can be the next person to grow it out, fine tune it and make it something! 83 days, indeterminate--produces fruit until frost! INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS The seeds you will receive are from 2017's harvest. All 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 are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes 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 are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
