Amana Orange
A very large, late tomato with orange, meaty flesh. Named for the Amana Colonies
in Iowa. This is an orange version of the heirloom Brandywine. A beautiful low-acid
addition to any garden. Great for slicing — one slice will cover a full
piece of bread.

Suggestions: For easier harvesting, support plants
with stakes or cages. Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before planting outdoors.
Harden off seedlings by putting them outside during the day for 1 week before
transplanting. Transplant seedlings to the garden when nighttime temperatures
remain above 55 degrees Farenheit. Enrich the soil before planting. Use landscape
fabric to retain heat in the soil. To avoid diseases, don't plant where tomatoes
or peppers have grown in the last two years. Water regularly to keep soil evenly
moist.
