Description
Solanum lycopersicum
New Jersey heirloom that sets lots of fruit all at once—great for canning!
DETERMINATE. Co-op grower Rich Felton swears by this variety as his go-to for a main crop slicer & canning tomato. Great flavor and large yields that come on all at once make it a good choice for canning. Big, strong, fusarium- and verticillium-resistant vines.
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 Rich Felton in Rawlins, Wyoming.
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.
