Spacing, Row:   36-48 inches
Spacing, Plant:   24-36 inches
Light:  Full Sun

SOWING, INDOORS: Start seed indoors in a sunny location 6 to 8 weeks prior to warm weather.  Place pots, trays or flats under lights in a warm room. Barely cover seeds with 1/16 inch fine soil. Water with warm water.   Transplant outdoors in full sun when seedlings display 4 - 6 leaves and weather is warm.

SOWING, OUTDOORS:  Seed can be sown, 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, directly into garden after all danger of frost has passed and when soil  is warm.  Tomatoes can not tolerate frost.

CARE Water regularly.  Stake or cage to save space.

HARVEST Pick carefully when richly colored and firm, but before fruit begins to soften.

Suggestions:  To keep fruit clean and easier to pick, support plants with stakes or cages.  Tomatoes require at least an inch of water per week.  Plant in full sun, if possible against a south or west wall or fence where reflected sun will provide additional heat. Black plastic at base of plants or a tire placed around each plant also will help provide heat for earlier ripening. Fruit is at its sweetest when it just turns from yellow to light orange.

TOMATO
Yellow Pear (70 Days)
Lycopersicon esculentum

HEIRLOOM! Enormous number of yellow bite-sized fruits. This extremely old variety makes a vigorous plant, which bears clusters of bright yellow, pear-shaped, small tomatoes. The flavor is deliciously tangy. Mild-flavored, they are good in salads, preserves or for pickling. Indeterminate.
