What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow the classic slicing tomato every gardener knows and loves with Beefsteak Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This indeterminate heirloom produces large, meaty fruits—often reaching about 4 inches in diameter—that are ideal for sandwiches, burgers, and fresh summer meals. Known for their outstanding flavor and reliable performance, Beefsteak tomato plants offer vigorous growth and a steady harvest throughout the season.

Large, Meaty, and Made for Slicing:
Beefsteak tomatoes are prized for their substantial size and dense flesh, making them a top choice for home gardeners who enjoy thick tomato slices with excellent flavor. These heirlooms hold up well when cut, delivering the juicy texture and balanced sweetness that define a classic summer tomato.

Why Customers Love Beefsteak Tomatoes:

  • Produces large, meaty tomatoes about 4" across
  • Excellent slicing variety for sandwiches and fresh use
  • Indeterminate plants that yield continuously through the season
  • Vigorous, reliable vines favored by home gardeners
  • Classic heirloom flavor with great texture

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant seedlings into full sun once the weather is consistently warm. Provide strong staking or caging to support the vigorous indeterminate vines. Plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and water regularly to encourage steady growth and uniform fruit development.

Harvest & Use:
Pick fruits when they reach full color and feel firm yet slightly soft to the touch. Slice thick for sandwiches, salads, and summer appetizers, or enjoy fresh with salt and herbs. Their meaty structure makes them ideal for any recipe that calls for large, flavorful tomato slices.
