Heinz 1439 Tomato
Heinz 1439 Tomato Seeds are an excellent choice for gardeners looking to grow a reliable and productive tomato variety. These seeds produce strong, determinate plants that reach up to 4 feet in height, yielding mid-size, firm, globular red fruits that weigh approximately 5 to 6 ounces each. The tomatoes are known for their fine taste, crack resistance, and suitability for canning and processing.
To grow Heinz 1439 Tomatoes, start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant the seeds about 0.25 inches deep in well-drained soil and keep the seeding mix at 21-24°C for prompt germination. When the seedlings are about 1.5 inches high, transplant them into individual pots and reduce the temperature to 15-18°C until planting in late May. After hardening off, transplant the seedlings into well-drained soil, spacing them 24 to 36 inches apart in rows that are 36 inches apart. Ensure the plants receive full sun and consistent watering, directing water to the soil to avoid issues like fruit cracking and blossom end rot.
These tomato plants typically mature in 70 to 80 days, providing a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. Heinz 1439 Tomatoes are an excellent addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary versatility.
