Notes
'Valentine' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Valentine') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. You can grow it for delicious, high-lycopene grape tomatoes.
Pairs well with Gimlet cucumber, Fern Leaf dill, and Black Magic kale.
