Notes

'Comstock Sauce and Slice Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Comstock Sauce and Slice Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers, and its tall stems need strong support.

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