Pork Chop Heirloom Tomato Seeds - Yellow & Green Beefsteak Tomato Vegetable Seeds
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds
Pork Chop is a fairly new cultivar bred by the famous Brad Gates from Wild Boar Farms. It is a true yellow tomato with bright green stripes that turn a golden orange color when very ripe. The tomatoes are medium-sized, slightly flat beefsteaks with a deliciously sweet flavor and a hint of citrus. I found that the plants were very productive and set large clusters of fruit at the same time.

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Indeterminate
Color: yellow with green stripes
Flavor profile: sweet and fruity
Average fruit size: slicer/beefsteak
Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use.
This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant.
PLANTING
Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat.
Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep
Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest.
Days to maturity: 85 days from transplanting into the garden
