Oxheart Tomato – 20 Seeds

Oxheart Tomato Seeds. Oxheart tomatoes have been commonly used for canning and sauce for generations. The name refers to the pointed heart shape of the tomato. Because of their thick, meaty flesh, Oxheart tomatoes perform very well for preserving.

All Oxheart tomatoes have indeterminate growth, which means they don’t stop growing during their lifetime, continuing to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost. Provide Oxheart tomatoes with a stake or tomato cage when you plant them outside.

Growing Oxheart Tomato

• Tomatoes require a long growing season, and are best started indoors 6 weeks before the anticipated transplanting date (after the final frost of the spring).
• For best results, sow Oxheart Tomato Seeds ½” deep in a well-drained, soilless starting mix.
• Seeds require warm soil. The warmer the soil, the faster the germination.
• Keep soil moist, but not soggy while awaiting germination. Moderate watering slightly once seedlings break through the soil.
• Wait at least a week or two after the last frost before transplanting the seedlings.
• Tomatoes do better if the seedlings are planted deeper than they were grown in containers. Set them in the ground so that the soil level is just below the lowest leaves. Roots will form along the buried stem, establishing a stronger root system
