Cold Set Tomato Seeds

Sow Seed Directly into Your Garden

(9 customer reviews)

Gurney's Choice Cold Set Open-Pollinated Tomato is the easiest tomato you can grow. Tolerates light frost (withstood 18 degree temperatures in Canadian trials.) Direct seed it, then sit back and wait--but you won't wait for long! Ripens 2 weeks earlier than most. Firm 3- to 4-inch fruits are big on flavor. You won't find a better salad tomato. Determinate vines. 65 DAYS.

Tomatoes offer so many delicious possibilities-slice them, sauce them, can them, or turn them into salsa!

Selection Tip: when choosing varieties, keep in mind that “determinates” ripen over 3-4 weeks on bushy vines that usually need no staking. “Indeterminate” vines continue to grow and produce fruit all season until frost. The large vines need support.

cold tomato
Reviewed By: Neil Shuster (Lyle, Washington)
I bought this tomato because I have a shorter growing season and was interested that this plant was supposed to be good to 18 degrees. I found that it did not do any better than other tomato plants and I do not believe they were as good a flavor as other tomatoes I had

We ordered this variety last year. They took the entire summer to produce. Skins were relatively thick, and tomatoes were below average on taste. Small fruit. Wouldn't buy these again.
