Bulgarian Old Sort Heirloom Tomato Seeds ? Large, Meaty, 78 Days **Description:** Bulgarian Old Sort, also known as Bulgarian Old Sort No Name, is a rare heirloom tomato originating from Granitovo, Bulgaria. Discovered and shared by Frederick Denny, this variety is cherished for its traditional flavor and impressive size. It?s a true old-world tomato that delivers a nostalgic taste of Eastern European gardens. This midseason variety matures in approximately 78 days. The fruit is deep red, round to slightly flattened, and heavily ribbed in classic beefsteak fashion. Tomatoes typically measure 4 to 5 inches across and weigh between 18 to 22 ounces, making them ideal for slicing and showcasing in fresh dishes. The flavor is described as full-bodied and complex, with a rich, old-fashioned tomato taste. Its dense flesh and low seed count make it excellent for both fresh eating and canning. It?s especially prized for salads, sandwiches, and preserving. The plant is indeterminate, producing fruit continuously throughout the season. It has regular leaves and can grow up to 6 feet tall, requiring staking or caging for support due to its vigorous growth and heavy fruit load. Bulgarian Old Sort is a standout for gardeners seeking a robust, flavorful tomato with deep cultural roots and exceptional culinary versatility. **How to Start from Seed:** 1. **Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.** Sow seeds OE inch deep in seed starting mix. 2. **Maintain a temperature of 70-75F** for optimal germination.
