Heirloom tomato «Orange»
Without a doubt the finest orange tomato ever grown, Orange is so sweet that it can hold its own in taste tests against full-sized varieties!
While most mid-sized tomatoes tend to have thick skin (to protect against cracking) and not a lot of flavor, Orange outdoes itself with an unforgettably sugary, true-tomato tang you'll find irresistible!
These perfectly round globes are so glossy and colorful they scarcely look real, but they're packed with vitamins as well as flavor. Measuring 9 on the Brix sweetness scale, they rival beefsteaks for sugar content, making each a scrumptious bite!

Planting Tips for Heirloom Tomatoes
Most gardeners want to get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes and therefore give them a head start on the growing season. Start these vegetable seeds indoors in sterile potting mix being sure to keep the temperature above 70 degrees. Some people prefer to use a grow pad but the top of the fridge has been known to be quite effective as well.
Once the first true leaves appear on your tomato seedlings, transplant into 4" pots until you have completely hardened them off in the garden. Hardening is a process of exposing the plants more and more to outside temperature until they are hardy enough to tollerat a complete outdoor move. Generally speaking, by early summer heirloom tomatoes should be transplated into the garden.
Most heirloom varieties are quite productive and will greatly benefit from sturdy supports. It may also be advisable to add blood and bone to the worked soil to help ensure healthy productive heirloom tomatoes.
