Notes
'Grandma Oliver's Green Tomato' (Solanum lycopersicum 'Grandma Oliver's Green Tomato') is a vegetable for containers and food 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Basil, Calendula, Borage, and Nasturtium.
