Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. You will need to provide a sturdy trellis or stake system to support the vines as they grow.
You can expect to harvest your first tomatoes approximately 75 days after transplanting the seedlings into your garden. Keep in mind that environmental factors can slightly influence this timeline.
Yes, these are organic seeds. They are open-pollinated, meaning you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant again in future seasons.
Marsalato is bred for strong performance, featuring resistance to several common tomato issues including Fusarium wilt (F), Fusarium crown and root rot (FOR), leaf mold (LM), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), Tomato apex necrosis virus (ToANV), and Verticillium wilt (V).
These plants thrive in full sun and require high levels of water and fertilizer to support their productive growth. Ensure your soil temperature is at least 55°F before transplanting them outdoors in the spring.
Because of their firm, meaty texture and tangy flavor, these tomatoes are highly versatile. They are excellent for fresh slicing in salads or sandwiches, but their dense flesh also makes them a great choice for cooking down into rich, flavorful sauces.
