This indeterminate slicing tomato named after the famed 1800’s author, who disliked tomatoes, is fantastic for eating fresh in sandwiches or salads. Growing as big as 24 ounces, these oblate shaped, crack resistant, full flavoured, deep red tomatoes are rare and don’t take a lot of handling once harvested, so be sure to eat them soon after.
Growing Directions.
Sow seeds 1/4″ deep indoors, 6 weeks before last frost. Transplant or sow directly outdoors, in full sun, 3″ apart, when soil is warm and all chance of frost has past. Benefits from organic compost amended soil. Support with stake or basket.
