Brandywine Yellow Tomato Growth Habits:

If you live in a southern climate with long summers, you can direct seed your heirloom Brandywine Yellow tomato seeds directly in the garden. For others, start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. After all danger of frost has passed, transplant the seedings about two-thirds deep into well-drained soil. These 2-pound monsters require a lot of water, so keep soil moist. Make sure and have a sturdy trellis or tomato cage, as the potato-leafed vines grow up to 8 feet tall.

Brandywine Yellow Benefits:
