Notes
'Contessa' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Contessa') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows at a rapid rate, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Santo cilantro, and Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumber.
