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

Grow one of the most famous heirloom tomatoes with Mortgage Lifter Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Known for its impressive size and exceptional old-fashioned flavor, this indeterminate beefsteak variety regularly produces fruits averaging over 2 pounds—and sometimes reaching up to 4 pounds. With sweet, meaty flesh and very few seeds, Mortgage Lifter tomatoes are a favorite for thick slicing and fresh summer eating.

Massive Fruits and Remarkable Flavor:
Mortgage Lifter tomatoes offer dense, pink flesh with a rich, balanced sweetness that has earned them a reputation for outstanding taste. Their substantial size and meaty texture make them ideal for sandwiches, salads, and recipes that call for thick tomato slices.

Why Customers Love Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes:

  • Produces huge beefsteak tomatoes averaging over 2 pounds
  • Some fruits can reach up to 4 pounds under ideal conditions
  • Sweet, old-fashioned flavor that consistently wins taste tests
  • Pink, meaty flesh with few seeds, perfect for slicing
  • Indeterminate vines for steady production throughout the season

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant outdoors after the weather has warmed, placing plants in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Provide strong support—such as stakes or heavy-duty cages—to accommodate the vigorous indeterminate vines and very large fruit. Water consistently and maintain even soil moisture to encourage balanced growth and reduce stress during peak production.

Harvest & Use:
Pick tomatoes when they turn a rich pink color and give slightly under gentle pressure. Slice thick for sandwiches, fresh salads, or summer platters, where their sweet, meaty texture can shine. Their minimal seed content and rich flavor also make them excellent for fresh sauces and simple cooked dishes.
