Notes
'Better Boy' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Better Boy') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a slicer type with an indeterminate habit, so the vines keep growing and setting fruit. Stake or cage the plant to support its height of 3 to 6 feet.
Pairs well with Rosemary, Garden strawberry, and Scarlet runner.
