Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). This tomato is one of the real favorites here. Big, lemon-yellow fruit is a delightful heart shape. The flesh is smooth and creamy with a nicely balanced sweet taste. Jere always finds himself “snacking” on these one-pound beauties. Plants are very productive and seem to have some disease resistance.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Golden King of Siberia tomatoes should be started indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost. Find your local region’s frost dates to determine a precise planting time. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Plant seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the outdoor temperature consistently stays above 60 F. Space plants 24 inches apart for good airflow.

How to Grow

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use mulch to retain moisture and regulate temperature. Feed with a balanced tomato fertilizer or compost tea every 2-4 weeks. Provide support with cages or stakes to encourage upright growth and prevent fruit rot. Remove lower leaves and suckers to improve air circulation and focus the plant’s energy on fruit production.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
