Notes
'Manitoba' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Manitoba') 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 sits low on the menu for rabbits. This open-pollinated, determinate tomato grows rapidly and is ready in about 60 days.
Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Santo cilantro, and Patio Snacker cucumber.
