To keep his head above water during the Depression, “Radiator Charlie” took to tomato breeding, crossing heirloom varieties until he created this superb 16-24oz  beefsteak – remarkably flavorful and vigorous. It’s rumored that Charley paid off his mortgage and weathered the 1930s by selling his famous tomato seeds which are as spectacular today as they were back then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 seeds minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination: 6-10 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturity: 80 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart indoors 6 weeks before the last frost.
