Notes
'Big Beef' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Big Beef') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast and reaches 36 to 72 inches tall. Bees visit the flowers, so it also helps your garden's pollination.
Pairs well with Cilantro, Lemon verbena, and Okra.
