Sasha's Altai Tomato - Lycopersicon lycopersicum
A super cold tolerant Siberian Tomato brought back by our mentor Bill McDorman in the late 1980's. This medium sized red slicer has perfectly balanced taste, great texture, and sets fruit even with cool nights. Prolific and rugged semi bush plants. Check out www.seedstrust.com for his amazing story of receiving this seed. Sasha's Altai great to grow and share the story! Selected as one of Organic Gardening Magazine's top 10 early tomatoes. Thanks Sasha and Bill!

Growing Tips:
Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks.
It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
