Marlowe Charleston heirloom tomato seeds non-gmo BIG DARK PINK LYCOPENE SOURCE
Quick note: My seeds are grown, harvested and selected by me. I start ALL of my seedlings/transplants, so you know there are no chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or harsh commercial fertilizers used in the products I produce. I use organic fertilizer, compost, and red worm castings, that's it! I do not buy foreign seeds or seeds that are out of date. I have been growing these varieties for years and they are proven winners. You will not be dissapointed. NON-GMO HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES JUST TASTE BETTER! MADE IN USA Back in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes in Kentucky. 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 these tomato varieties I have grown several times and is a favorite is MARLOWE CHARLESTON. This is a big pink tomato with big tomato flavor. This was one of the first heirloom tomatoes I grew from seed, obtained from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes back in 2010. I think I have grown this one every year, it's very productive, and has a great flavor. This tomato, MARLOWE CHARLESTON, performed amazingly 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 a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance. MARLOWE CHARLESTON tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet. MARLOWE CHARLESTON has a fantastic flavor (did I say DELICIOUS?!?!), is a deep dark pink, large, and productive. First introduced in 1995 by Barbara Fath of Pleasant Plain, Ohio..Barbara Fath received seeds from her late mother-in-law Phyllis Marlowe in the late 1980s. Phyllis obtained them from her mother-in-law, Madeline Marlowe.Madeline Marlowe grew this tomato in Charleston, West Virginia for over 50 years, and then brought them with her to Ohio. This is where she and then her daughter-in-law Phyllis continued to grow it for another 30 years.Barbara Fath named this tomato after Madeline Marlowe and the place where she grew it originally, and she continued to grow it, up until 2002. When she found her saved seeds and grew it again in 2008, Barbara observed both regular and potato leaf types. Barbara said that the original is large potato leaf pink and meaty. Indeterminate plants (originally potato leaf and regular leaf) producemoderate amounts of pink, 3", 12 oz., beefsteak tomatoes with awonderful, unique, sweet , yet mild, well-balanced flavors. Gooddisease resistance. Bears until frost. Honestly I cannot remember if this one was the regular or potatoleaf variety, so, you get to be surprised! Sorry, I will take better notes nextyear.A good sized, fairly uniformed shaped round tomato. Very juicy and TASTY! This was great again in salsa, salads, and on sandwiches. GREAT SLICER!Great choice for an "HEIRLOOM TASTING PLATTER" with different colors of sliced tomatoes. Lot's of good ways to get creative here.Did You Know? Research shows that protective effects of tomatoes against prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease result from the synergy of lycopene with other phytonutrients naturally present in whole tomatoes. Lycopene is highest in organically grown tomatoes.Frontier Seed brand vegetable seeds are all NON-GMO and open pollinated heirloom varieties.Buy with confidence and plant the best!Nutritional Value: The red tomato is listed on most nutritional lists as a super-food. It is packed with the antioxidant vitamins A and C, potassium and the B vitamins for heart health, and above all a powerful carotenoid called lycopene. This phytonutrient, which is responsible for the bright red color of tomatoes, has been studied for its role in fighting various cancers, and its ability to lower cholesterol. When tomatoes are cooked, even more lycopene is made available. Lycopene has been shown to be especially effective when eaten with fat-rich foods such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. There are the ingredients for a powerhouse salad! INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS 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!
