Friends, rather than selling and shipping seeds, we now share seeds as an embodied gift practice. Learn how to receive seeds from us & here are our FAQs.
Creamy and sweet, long and luscious, abundant and crack-resistant! Yellow Submarine cascades off the vine, a combination of several heirloom varieties crossed by Phil Griffiths at Cornell. We love these succulent cherry tomatoes dipped in hummus or tossed in salads as well as sliced in half and dried, though nothing compares to the joy of savoring them sun-sweet and warm off the vine. Yellow Submarine is an impressively vigorous plant, so be prepared to trellis and be surrounded by incredible abundance!
As ever, we are endlessly thankful for the millennia of indigenous seedkeepers who have laid the foundation of resilience and the public plant breeders creating extraordinary varieties adapted for our short seasons. A portion of every packet’s sales goes back to the University to ensure new varieties for our short seasons will continue to be bred and shared to surround us with abundance beyond our lifetimes.
Planting Method: Transplant Only
When to sow: 6-8 weeks before last frost
Seed Depth: 1/8 inch Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)
Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.
When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem.
Strong 3′ trellis optional but helpful. Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.
Transplant Spacing: 2.5 feet Sun Needs: Full
Days to Harvest: 65
Harvest: Indeterminate.
