Growing Original Blue Ribbon Hybrid Tomato
‘Original Blue Ribbon’ is a hybrid tomato prized for its large, uniform fruits and rich classic flavor. Smooth, glossy red tomatoes weigh about 10 to 15 ounces and develop with very little blossom-end scarring.
Start ‘Original Blue Ribbon’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants about 24 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Vigorous indeterminate vines are adaptable to a wide range of climates and are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 71 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and mature glossy red color.
Rich, substantial, and dependable, ‘Original Blue Ribbon’ is especially well suited to slicing.

What Gardeners Are Saying
C
germinated 90% very good seed.

I am only as far as the start of my indoor plant starting. Big red has given me a 100% germination rate. I have never grown these before, so far...excellent. Beefy Purple 40%, Big Red 20%, Yellow Pear 40%, Pondarosa 40%, Jalafuego Peppers 93.3%, Juliet and Cherokee Carbon 100%, and all others over 80% germination. All in all (excluding Beef Purple and Big Red) excellent germination rates. I have grown your tomatoes for four years now and have been extremely happy with the quality and production of your seeds. A quick note for anyone growing in a hot climate, such as California where I am. Start your plants in February indoors with heating pads (for germination) and under full spectrum grow lights. Get then in the ground early, because after late July it gets to hot for them to set fruit. At least that has been my experience. Good Luck

The Original Blue Ribbon tomatoes are the best tomatoes that we have ever eaten and everyone that I have shared them with have told me the same thing.

I first grew the blue ribbon tomatoes about 3 years ago and have grown them ever since. They are definitely a favorite and my mom and brother now include them in their tomato lineup too.
