Why Grow Turkey Creek Tomato?

A Gem for Tomato Lovers We first grew Turkey Creek Tomato in 2022 and it was the best tasting tomato amongst the 20 different varieties we grew that year. This indeterminate, heirloom tomato variety produces large, beefsteak tomatoes that are very meaty. Turkey Creek is a true gem for tomato lovers and gardeners alike.

Signature Heirloom Flavor Turkey Creek is a robust, meaty tomato with very little gel or seeds inside. It is packed with rich flavor and embodies that characteristic acidic taste that we expect from an heirloom tomato. These large tomatoes are perfect for slicing into sandwiches, adding to salads, or enjoying straight from the vine!

Turkey Creek Tomato Growing Tips

• When to Plant Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a "warm season" vegetable that should be transplanted in the garden once the risk of frost has passed in the early spring months. Start the seeds in a greenhouse or seed starting room approximately 6 weeks before your intended in-ground planting date. Give each of these plants approximately 4' or more of space in your garden.

Timely planting is important for those in southern climates, as hot summer weather can be rough on tomato plants. Gardeners in warmer climates should aim to get their plants in the ground as soon as possible in early spring. Gardeners in areas with milder summers have the advantage of a longer tomato season, and don't have to be as timely with planting.

Turkey Creek is an indeterminate tomato variety, which means the plants will continue to grow and produce tomatoes throughout the growing season -- except in warmer climates where 90°F temps and higher can be tough on tomato plants. These large, indeterminate plants will need a substantial trellis as they continue to grow. Because the fruits get so large, be sure to support these well so the vines don't break as the fruits enlarge.

• How to Fertilize Tomatoes

It's always a good idea to apply some pre-plant fertilizer to the soil when planting tomatoes. We like to add a handful Coop Gro organic fertilizer in the planting hole for each tomato plant. This ensures the plants have the right nutrients to put down roots in their new soil.

Fruiting vegetables like tomatoes will benefit from something called "spoon feeding." This process involves frequent fertilizations at lower concentrations, as compared to fertilizing them heavily once.

Once your tomato plants start to grow after transplanting, feed them every 2-3 weeks with a relatively balanced fertilizer. We like to sprinkle Coop Gro around the plants or make a liquid solution of AgroThrive Fruit & Flower and pour that alongside the plants. Tomato plants will also benefit from "hilling" when they grow to approximately 12-18" tall.

• Harvesting Tomatoes

While there is much hype about the quality and flavor of "vine ripe" tomatoes, allowing tomatoes to ripen on the vine can be a risky proposition. As they ripen, they become susceptible to attacks from birds or pests like tomato hornworms.

As a result, we prefer to harvest our tomatoes when they start to turn pink. We then set them inside on a counter so they can continue to ripen. This does not compromise the flavor, but it does save our tomatoes from being eaten by pests. If you have minimal pest pressure, feel free to let your tomatoes ripen on the vine.

Delivers what it promises
I’m a fair skinned person who burns and freckles easily and in my 40’s. I also love being outside. I have worn spf on my face (and usually my hands) basically every day since I was 13 and because of that people always say I don’t look my age. Back then, only a 4 or 8 was available in face moisturizers, but I have always worn the highest that is recommended and usually face moisturizers are behind in meeting the recommendations so I have usually worn a full on sunscreen under my makeup. As the recommendations get higher it has been harder to find something that doesn’t look pasty, smell bad or interfere with makeup. I was using Eucerin spf 30 and Cera Ve spf 30 but I have wanted to increase spf to 50 because that is what is recommended now. I tried the Cera Ve spf 50 and was disappointed by how tacky it is and pasty it looks. I don’t even like wearing it alone to the beach because it’s so chalky white and sticky. Neutrogena healthy defense is alright but it has a scent and some chemicals that are not so good. It also is a pretty small bottle (1.7 oz) when you use it everyday on face and hands. But THIS product has blown me away with its affordability and quality. It IS sheer. Easily blends in and disappears quickly into skin. It’s completely odorless. It’s not tacky or greasy—you feel moisturized but not sticky. It performs under foundation even better than the Cera Ve 30. Now, this doesn’t have the extra ceramides and vitamins that does so I’ll still be using that when I feel extra dry like in winter, or I might mix the two moisturizers, but this Solimo reef safe sunscreen will definitely be my daily face and hand sunscreen in the spring, summer and early fall. These are the days I go straight from work to the garden or the beach. I can quickly reapply over my makeup before I leave the house again feel fully protected while I’m out.

I believe equal to name brand rhyming with NitroGina
I believe it is equal to the name brand mentioned on the front side of the tube. It is 55 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. If you put on a shirt over your skin with lotion it will appear on the inside of a dark shirt but it will wash out right away when that shirt is washed. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool or after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Super impressed by this!
Love this sunscreen and will be reordering it. It’s sheer, light, invisible, gives me the protection I need for my middle aged skin and I can swear my complexion has gotten better since I started using it. I’m super impressed how it’s comparable to more expensive brands in quality without the high price tag. It’s made me start looking into other skin products I can purchase from the Amazon brand.

How is this SO good?
I'm a sunscreen enthusiast. I wear sunscreen every day, and I know how hard it is to find one that is actually pleasant to use. It goes on like a white paste but it quickly blends in to the skin and becomes invisible. There is NO white cast after you rub it in. The initial white color makes it really easy to see where you have applied it. The lotion is very moisturizing but it's also fairly lightweight feeling, and isn't greasy. My skin is usually on the dry side. The smell is nice and neutral, some people might say that it has a bit of a "sunscreen" smell. But the smell is pretty faint and it doesn't linger. I find it to be pleasant, personally. Additionally, I have used this in the water and I find it to offer excellent water resistance even though it doesn't form a heavy-feeling layer on the skin. This is particularly impressive to me. This sunscreen will definitely be a go-to for beach days. It's great for face and body! The one caveat is that it tastes terrible if you get it in your mouth. So I definitely do not recommend eating it, lol. You might have this issue if you're particularly sweaty and the sweat drips down your face. In my experience many sunscreens do this, so I don't consider it to be a big deal. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for cost-effective and lightweight sun protection. It's great on face and body.

Good product
It’s very comparable to the Neutrogena version. Its light on my face, does not leave a white cast, and doesn’t break me out. The price point is excellent compared to the name brand one. I go walking almost everyday and live in a sunny and hot area where the climate is hot all year round. I haven’t gotten burnt since wearing this sunscreen. Definitely recommend *UPDATE* This sunscreen gave me acne. I rarely breakout and I now have five pimples on my face. I do not recommend!!!
