Notes
'Beefsteak' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Beefsteak') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. It is grown for slicing, cooking, salads, and canning. The bright red, slightly ribbed heirloom fruits have sweet, meaty flesh and take 85-95 days to ripen.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Lemon cucumber, and French lavender.
