Notes

'Buratino or Pinocchio Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Buratino or Pinocchio 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. Bees and butterflies visit it. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first.

Pairs well with Basil, Calendula, Borage, and Parsley.
