Notes

'Jolene' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Jolene') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. Jolene is an F1 hybrid that is ready to pick in 79 days, and its flowers draw bees.

Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Picolino cucumber.
