High yields of large, clean fruit. Quite free of cracks and scars. Globe-shaped fruit with bright, attractive color inside and out. Very pleasant flavor. A low acid tomato. If you wish to can, add lemon juice. Requires staking.  

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before planting outdoors. Harden off seedlings by putting them outside during the day for 1 week before transplanting. Transplant seedlings to the garden when nighttime temperatures remain above 55F. Enrich the soil with compost. Use plastic mulch to retain heat in the soil.

 

To avoid diseases, don't plant where tomatoes or peppers have grown in the last two years. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist.

 

Tomatoes are the juciest and most flavorful if picked when bright red.
