Notes

'Martha Washington' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Martha Washington') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 tend to pass it by. This heirloom-quality pink slicer has a more reliable plant.

Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Suyo Long cucumber, and Santo cilantro.
