Organic Heirloom Tomatoes

Home grown organic heirloom tomatoes are always tastier and juicer. Tomatoes are a favorite part of any diet. Many have taken up to planting tomatoes as a hobby. Heirloom tomatoes are p

ollinated tomatoes, at least forty years old. Organic tomatoes may not look like the ones in market, but they surely taste better. If you follow proper gardening practices, you are sure to get the original and juicy tomatoes.

There is variety of organic heirloom tomato seed . The family heirloom tomatoes are the ones whose seeds are saved and then passed on from one generation to another.

A tomato grown by crossing two heirlooms purposely, to have certain characteristic is called created heirloom tomato. The seeds of these heirloom tomatoes are saved and replanted for almost five seasons consistently. Another variety of heirloom tomato grows naturally when the cross pollination or the mutation takes place.

An organic heirloom tomato requires lot of sunlight and proper soil. To have tastier and healthy organic tomatoes, care has to be taken that they are grown in healthy soil.

Provide the crop with compost. It is always good to have your own compost pit in the house. You can get the compost from the market as well. The plant needs at least 6 hours of sunlight, if the plant is able to get sunlight for 10 or 12 hours, it is even better. Remember, the more the plant gets sunlight, the tastier and juicier are the tomatoes.

Before planting the heirloom tomatoes plant loosen the soil and dig the ground up to 14 inches. Make the soil rock and debris free. Put in plenty of compost for better growth. Try and use natural fertilizers. Along with the plants, you need to take care of the soil as well. You can add chicken, horse, rabbit or cow manure as per the directions given on the packets.

Remember as its organic heirloom tomatoes avoid the use of chemical fertilizers for growing this heirloom tomato. Do not use potting soil or planting mix as they do not nourish the soil and are very strong for the growth of tomato plants.

You can dig a tomato heirloom bed mechanically or by hand. Try to raise the bed as high as possible and as much as the soil will allow. Bales of straw, lumber or concrete blocks can be used to frame the raised beds. Bales can be converted to any size and shape and filled with organic topsoil, coco peat, compost and fertilizer.

There has to be enough space between the tomato beds, proper spacing allows proper growth of the plant.

The organic heirloom tomato seed can be planted at 30 to 36” or 42 to 48 inches distance. Spacing of the tomato plant allows good airflow and better root growth, which will eventually give you a good plant.

Do not allow any one to walk on the soil, not even your self. Walking on the soil will compact it and damage the growth of the heirloom tomato plant. The soil should be moist enough and should be watered well. If you can allow the soil to be undisturbed for four to five days or even a week, the natural microbial system begins activity and enriches the soil.
