Ace 55 Heirloom Tomato Seeds
Ace 55 is a vigorous tomato plant that produces red thick-walled globe-shaped tomatoes, which average about 8 ounces each. It is resistant to cracking as well as many plant diseases. This variety is one of the few low acid red varieties and matures in 80 days. Determinate. Approx. 50 seeds. Non-GMO
Sowing: Start Ace 55 heirloom tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4" deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots; bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants.
Growing: Since temperatures below 55 degrees F can damage production, protect the plants if temperatures drop. A thick layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds; water the plants once a week, but avoid getting the leaves wet. Determinate, or bush type tomatoes, do not require staking.
