Tomato, Moscow Idaho

Always Open-Pollinated and Unpatented
  • $5.00

Description

Solanum lycopersicum

The largest of the U of I bred tomatoes. Good slicer and canning tomato.

INDETERMINATE. Not the earliest of the University of Idaho bred tomatoes, but certainly the largest. Big plants make large 4” round fruits which are good for slicing & canning. We’re missing some context, but the story goes that it was almost lost to the ether but for a single Utah gardener who kept it as his main canning tomato. Regardless, this is a solid, reliable tomato and we’re glad to be sharing it with y’all!

Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well. 

Seeds grown by Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho and Earthly Delights Farm in Boise, Idaho.

30 seeds.

Directions: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant out after. Bury past first set of leaves, add eggshells to soil for calcium, and provide support.
