Green Giant Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $3.95
SKU: 340199190 days, indeterminate - 'Green Giant' is a sturdy, potato leaf type plant producing large (up to 32 ounce), oblate-shaped, beefsteak type fruit that are juicy but meaty and with very small seed cavities. They are green with a slight yellowish tinge on the blossom end when at the eating stage. The flavor is intense and not what you'd expect judging it by its color. It is great for slicing.
We received this variety from heirloom tomato collector Craig LeHoullier who received them from tomato collector Reinhard Kraft of Neukirchen, Germany.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
