Prairie Glow (Solanum lycopersicum) This is another unique variety gifted to us from Stan Zubrowski of Prairie River SK. A really nice slicing and dicing tomato that is thick-skinned and durable. No cracking or BER noted on fruits and foliar disease was minimal in both of our trials. Fruits are medium sized, semi-oblong, ripening to a fiery orange around 70 days. An indeterminate vine that produces consistent fruit well into mid October here in Nova Scotia. One of our favourites in the kitchen this year!
65-70 days to maturity from transplant

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep and keep soil warm. Transplant into 1 inch cells or 2 inch pots at 1-2 leaf stage. Staking tomatoes (indeterminate) should be transplanted into 3-4 inch pots. Harden off plants for 4-5 days after risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors once day and night temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees Celsius.
