Notes
'German Johnson' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'German Johnson') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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 nibble other plants first. This more vigorous, higher yielding Brandywine type has pink flowers that attract bees.
Pairs well with Beit Alpha Cucumber cucumber, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
