Notes

'Margold' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Margold') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fruit is ready about 75 days after planting, and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Cilantro, and Quirk cucumber.
