Glacier, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Glacier, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Early-Season Heirloom That Keeps Producing All Summer

Glacier is the tomato for gardeners who can’t wait. An excellent early-type variety, Glacier produces 1½–2 inch fruits in as little as 55 days — one of the earliest heirloom tomatoes available — with a nice, tangy tomato flavor that is excellent for slicing and salads. Unlike many early-season varieties that exhaust themselves in a single flush, Glacier plants produce both an early crop and continue to bear through the entire season, performing reliably in cooler climates as well as hot areas.

Semi-determinate and genuinely versatile, Glacier is the heirloom that delivers from the first warm days of summer through the last days of the season.

Why Grow Glacier?

• Exceptionally early — fruits in as little as 55 days, one of the earliest heirlooms
• Continuous production — early crop plus full-season bearing, unlike most early varieties
• Performs in cool climates — reliable in northern gardens and short seasons
• Nice tangy flavor — excellent for slicing and salads
• Semi-determinate — manageable plants with extended production
• Open-pollinated — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun. Water consistently. Harvest when fruits are fully red and give slightly to gentle pressure.
