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 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
