Flin Flon Tomato

Flin Flon Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - We first encountered this heirloom at a Saturday farmers’ market in St. Norbert, Manitoba. Seeds were carefully selected and grown the very next spring. Jessy Friesen of Carman, MB, obtained the original seeds from an elderly gardener in Flin Flon, MB. This large, vigorous indeterminate plant produces generous yields of large, dark pink fruit. We have been successfully growing Flin Flon here in Nova Scotia since 2016, and it remains a reliable and impressive heirloom variety.

Indeterminate growth.

75 days to maturity. 

25 seeds per packet. 

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep and keep the soil warm. Transplant seedlings into 1-inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the danger of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10°C.
