Tomato Seeds - Rio Grande

  • $1.75


The Rio Grande Tomato is a highly productive, versatile, and resilient tomato determinate variety, well-suited for both fresh consumption and food preservation.  75 - 80 days from transplant to harvest.  Medium-sized, oblong, or plum-shaped with smooth, red skin with a firm texture. Average weight of 4-5 ounces per fruit.  

Excellent for making sauces, pastes, and purees due to its low moisture content and thick flesh.  Ideal for canning and drying.  Can also be eaten fresh in salads or sandwiches


I sell my tomato seeds by the pinch which is about 30-50 seeds. Plenty of seeds for a few years when stored properly.

START INDOORS: 6-8 weeks before nights reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
GERMINATION: 5-10 Days
PLANT OUTDOORS: 24"-36" Apart
LIGHT: Full Sun

For planting instructions I direct everyone to the Farmer's Almanac. They are clear and concise and cover all care needs. You can find a link under the Blog & Video tab.
