Yellow Brandywine tomatoes are an old-fashioned tomato variety that grows up to 24 Oz in weight. This heirloom tomato is packed with flavor and is great for salads and sandwiches. Turning yellow at about 75 days, this high-yielding variety is an excellent choice for the vegetable garden! Indeterminate. Craig LeHoullier
Craig LeHoullier, a Seed Savers Exchange member, PhD chemist, and gardening enthusiast, recevied the seed for Brandywine Yellow in 1991 from Barbara Lund of Ohio; Mrs. Lund obtained her seed from a friend in Indiana.
Approximately 25 seeds per packet.

SEED TO HARVEST GUIDE
TRANSPLANTING:
Don't start seeds too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. About 5–6 weeks before transplanting, sow 1/4 deep in 20-row flats with 20 seeds/row, or in 200-cell trays with 1 seed/cell; lightly cover. Keep mix at 75–85°F (24–29°C) with moderate moisture. At first true leaf, pot-up to 50-cell trays or 4 pots, depending on expected transplant timing. Grow at constant 60–70°F (16–21°C) temp and use complete fertilizer until hardened-off. Supplemental lights and lower night temps control stretching. For earliest crop, plant under row cover around last frost date. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 45°F (7°C). In rows 4–6' apart, space indeterminates 24–36. Plant deeply to encourage adventitious rooting. Water seedlings with a high-phosphate fertilizer solution at planting to help boost early yields.
TRELLISING:
Tomatoes are vines that have a weak stem that sprawls and typically needs support. Basket-weave by pounding 6–8' stakes every 2–3 plants, using heavier t-posts intermittently and at ends of beds. Or alternatively, use 'single-stem and stake' growing technique, or cordon tomato vine support method. Firmly secure canes or stakes into the ground so they will be able to support the considerable weight of fruit-laden plants and withstand sudden gusts of wind.
PRUNING:
Indeterminates likely benefit by removing all suckers under the first strong branch directly below the first flower cluster. The lower bottom suckers often miss trellis supports, set fruit closer to soil, take energy from upper parts, and encourage spread of disease from soil. If needed later in season, consider thinning out leaves to increase airflow or topping plants in the fall to help finish ripening last fruits.
DISEASES & INSECT PESTS:
Learn your common pests and options for control, including resistant cultivars and organic pest control methods. Avoid wet leaves and handling when wet or using tobacco products. Manage plant debris and implement crop rotations.
HARVEST:
Fruits ripen gradually from the blossom end to shoulders and from the base of clusters to the tips. Use fully ripe fruit only for home or local retail use. Any fruit breaking color will still ripen post-harvest.
STORAGE:
Store blemish-free, near-ripe fruit 4–7 days at room temperature in darkness. Store longer with proper variety selection, picking less-ripe, and keeping at cooler temperatures 45–60°F (7–16°C). Colder and picking too green will sacrifice end-quality.
