Glacier Tomato Seeds (Organic)
Glacier Tomato Seeds (Organic)
Chill-Resilient Wonder
The Glacier Tomato, an early-maturing cultivar, originated in Alaska, developed by plant breeder Tim Peters. Recognized for its ability to thrive in cooler climates and shorter growing seasons, it has gained popularity among gardeners seeking a reliable and flavorful early-season tomato.
Within the Glacier Tomato family, there aren't distinct subspecies, but this variety is appreciated for its determinate growth habit. The plant typically grows compactly, reaching about 18 to 24 inches in height, making it suitable for containers or smaller garden spaces. It features clusters of small to medium-sized, round fruits with a bright red color and a smooth, glossy appearance.
Taste-wise, the Glacier Tomato offers a balanced and mildly sweet flavor with a hint of acidity. Its firm texture and juicy flesh make it suitable for fresh eating in salads, slicing for sandwiches, or incorporating into culinary dishes.
When planting from seed, Glacier Tomatoes thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with good moisture retention. Start seeds indoors approximately 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, ensuring warmth and adequate light for healthy seedling development. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the soil has warmed and there is no risk of frost.
These tomatoes prefer full sun and consistent watering throughout the growing season. While they can tolerate cooler temperatures better than many other varieties, protecting them from extreme cold and providing mulch around the base of the plants can help maintain soil warmth and moisture.
The Glacier Tomato's early maturity, compact growth, and delightful taste make it an appealing choice for gardeners in regions with shorter growing seasons, enabling them to enjoy homegrown tomatoes earlier in the year.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.
Planting and Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.

from 9285 reviewsI've bought this variety of garlic from Grow Organic for the past three years - the quality and yield is always excellent.
No complain about this garlic.
Few days after shoot out of the ground and looks exelente!
The tree arrived securely, and I immediately planted it in a 5 galon pot. It is thriving now, and I hope to plant it in the ground probably next year, or the year after the next. Four different olive varieties that I bought three years ago from this same site are already bearing much olives, from which I cured many jars and I am already enjoying them. This website is my first trusted venue to buy trees that I could not find in the nursery store.
Planted these radishes late in the season and they are wonderful
The nasturtiums that I planted last season from Grow Organic are still blooming in November! I love the variety of colors
I really appreciate this softneck garlic!!
Thanks for the great and fast order,
The chickens really like the trsti g ot so I know to cover the larger rows
I was pleasantly surprised how perfect my Shallots came. They were very plump and no blemishes or tears in the outer skin. Would definitely purchase from Grow Organic again and will recommend to friends and neighbors.
We love this garlic. We've planted this variety several years in a row and haven't been disappointed. It's a great producer and has a flavor we love. We've watered and have gotten some rain here in Eastern Kansas and it is up and looking beautiful. Looking forward to harvest!
I was surprised@how big the shallots are! I can't tell if I need to break them apart? I'm fixing to plant them. The garlic is all in the ground on time, the deer try to eat the tender little green tops poking thru the soil
Nice, large bulbs with nice cloves for planting. Excellent quality.
...always order it.
This garlic arrived quickly. All large, healthy looking cloves. Sprouted after about 7 days and is approximately 6 inches tall at the moment
They arrived in perfect condition. Planted, and now we wait.
You won't be disappointed. I promise
Nice sized bulbs all in good shape!
