Description
This old-timer produces one-pound, well-shaped, meaty tomatoes with few seeds. A story goes that the farmer sold so many plants that he was able to pay off his mortgage on his house. Perfect for slicing.
Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before the last spring frost and transplant in late spring after nights have warmed. Sow outdoors in climates with 120 or more frost-free days. Germinates best at 75ËšF. Plant in a sunny spot. Feed every two weeks with high phosphorous fertilizer. Indeterminate. Bears fruit all summer on long, vigorous vines. Requires tall staking or cages.
