Notes
'Aunt Ruby's German Green Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Aunt Rubys German Green Tomato) is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 60 inches tall and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first.
Pairs well with Basil, Nasturtium, Calendula, and Borage.
