Grow Your Own Ketchup from Seed to Bottle

If you’re a big fan of ‘red sauce’, then you’ll be excited to hear that heirloom seed company, She Grows Veg, is adding the Heinz 1350 Tomato seed to its range, making it possible for you to literally grow your own Heinz tomato ketchup at home!

This tasty heirloom tomato variety was introduced in 1963 by H J Heinz Co, as the perfect tomato for making the iconic ketchup we all enjoy today. Known for its superior flavour, the Heinz 1350 tomato plant yields clusters of medium-sized, bright red tomatoes that are great for salads and sauces.

Easy to grow, this robust variety is a dependable option for home gardeners that’s tolerant of drought and doesn’t split as easily as others. Classed as determinate tomatoes, this variety will grow to a compact height (3-4’), that requires limited staking for support and is perfectly suited for planting in containers.

She Grows Veg offers over 200 heirloom seed varieties of fruit, vegetables, tree seeds and edible flowers that can be delivered straight to your door. The brand offers ‘no jargon’ growing advice on the back of each pack with QR codes that lead you to videos and information to help you get the most from each seed packet. 

The new Heinz 130 Tomato seed pack will be available online at https://shegrowsveg.com/ (RRP £4.95).
