Garden Peach ORGANIC Tomato Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds 2025

GARDEN PEACH TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum) is an ancient heirloom in its native Peru, where it is called "Cucunas," whose most notable physical feature is the slightly fuzzy yellow/pink blushed skin that makes it look like a small peach (see comparison photo with real peach fruit on left and bowl of peach tomatoes on right). But another unique quality is its remarkable storage life - when brought in at the end of season these tomatoes will slowly ripen over several months - providing you lots of delicious juicy tomatoes throughout the winter. Indeterminate and very prolific grower and producer that can reach 9 feet. A truly unique and delicious treat! 75-80 days from transplant. 10 seeds.

CULINARY: A pleasant feature is how easily the skin peels off this juicy tom when fully ripe. The blushed pink color remains in the flesh. This is not only a fine tomato for all kinds of sauces, but a good candidate for chutney and drying. I like it in a slowly simmered sauce of butter, olive oil, lots of garlic, white mushrooms, white eggplant, basil, bay leaf and some parmesan, served on white angel hair pasta -- a heavenly melange!

GROWING TIPS: Tomatoes and Tomatillos are heavy feeders with specific food requirements. So put a lot of attention to bed preparation both when you plant your seeds inside and out. Tomatoes love organic fertilizers and regular watering which, except early in the season when you are fighting pests, should be done from the bottom. Manure teas are an excellent continual food supply. My tomatoes love the comfrey tea I routinely make in my garden using nothing but large buckets and clippings from my comfrey plants. They love warm weather - don't stress out your seedlings by planting too early you will only set back fruiting. Plant flowers nearby to encourage pollination. Even those plants that say they don't need staking should be given some support. I prefer stakes for all such plants. If growing the taller indeterminate tomatoes you need to discipline your plants by pinching out the leaders. This will cut down on the fruit initially, but the fruit you get will be of better quality and ultimately more because if you do not pinch the leaders I have found the plant stops producing flowers. Tomatoes often attract aphids - don't be horrified. Use a hose and your hand to wash away daily and you will find they disappear after a few days-weeks once their breeding cycle is completed. Give tomatoes plenty of space. Don't let them touch each other, especially if growing different varieties, as it will help stop any disease problems from spreading. Did you know that nicotine spreads a terrible virus among tomatoes? So if you smoke, don't touch your tomato plants without using gloves, and don't grow certain nicotine related plants near tomatoes. Keep the fruit picked so production continues. As the season end nears, you can store whole branches of tomatoes by hanging them inside where they can continue to slowly ripen.

END OF SEASON TIP: If you have grown a variety that you love and want to grow the following season, consider cloning this season's healthy plant. It's easy to do. Just take a healthy cutting and root in moist soil indoors. You'll want to remove any lower leaves and sink so that as much stem as possible is in the soil with just a few top leaves showing. I like to put on a heating mat under grow lights and then pot up after the roots have really gotten going. You can keep this cutting alive through the winter and early spring and get a jump on the growing season next year. Avoid using cuttings from any plant that shows signs of blight or pest infestation.
