Notes

'Harvest Moon' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Harvest Moon') 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees visit the flowers, which open in shades of red, golden, and rose.

Pairs well with Carolina Reaper pepper, Moroccan mint, and Eight Ball squash.
