Honey Tomato
Indeterminate, regular leaf foliage .
Annual, Open pollinated.
Honey tomato is a beautiful vigorous heirloom that originates from Latvia. It yields large round jade-pink fruit that are surprisingly blemish free. A good, reliable sweet tomato taste.
Tomatoes are naturally quite drought tolerant, and yields are better when grown in the ground because their root systems are adventurous and incredibly resilient.
Days to maturity: 75-80 days from transplant
minimum 25 seeds per pack.
Seed starting:
In our climate tomatoes like a head start - start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost (depending on your region). Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, keeping the soil warm and moist. Once the first true leaves appear, plant up into plug trays. Plant outside in full sun once all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Mulch with straw or other organic matter!
Tomatoes will do well staked.
Companion plants: basil, nasturtium, carrots, calendula.
