Tomatoes are a relatively easy fruit to grow, and are a delicious summertime treat best enjoyed straight from the garden. Plant them in a sunny location once all danger of frost has passed. Remember to set up your Staking System right away, to avoid a headache later on, since proper support helps keep the plants healthy and producing. Tomatoes come in two types: determinate and indeterminate. Determinate are better known as “bush” or “patio” varieties, and have a set-size that they will grow to, making them ideal for shorter growing seasons or small spaces. Fruit on a determinate tomato plant sets and ripens all at once. Indeterminate varieties, such as cherry or grape tomatoes, will continue to grow and produce throughout the season; until the plant is eventually killed by frost or runs out of nutrients. Be sure to always supply tomatoes with added calcium to prevent Blossom End Rot. Consistently check water levels throughout the day, since tomato plants are very heavy drinkers and require a lot of water. The most common pest is the Tomato Hornworm, which can destroy your crops with its voracious appetite. Check plants regularly and pick any off by hand. Hornworms that have rice-looking eggs on them may be left alone; as this indicates the hornworm has become a host for parasitic wasp eggs, and it will eventually die.

COMMON PESTS: Aphids, Flea Beetles, Tomato Hornworms, Whiteflies, Potato Beetle, Mosquitoes, Stink Bugs

SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Blossom End Rot, Splitting, Cat-facing, Magnesium Deficiency, Mosaic Virus, Early/Late Blight, Bacterial Spot/Speck, Verticilum Wilt, Fusarium Wilt, Canker, Black Mold, Gray Mold, Yellow Leaf Curl Disease

The Rusty Rainbow Oxheart tomato is a striking, heart-shaped heirloom celebrated for its complex flavor and exceptional beauty. Its rust-brown exterior—often accented with green or yellowish shoulders—hides a stunning interior marbled with shades of pink, orange, and green, creating a true “rainbow” effect when sliced. The dense, meaty flesh contains few seeds and offers a rich, sweet, fruity flavor with aromatic depth and a subtle hint of spice or tanginess, sometimes described as slightly tropical. Naturally low in acidity, it is gentle on the palate and well suited for fresh eating.

This indeterminate variety is highly productive, continuing to grow and set fruit throughout the season, with maturity reached in approximately 80–85 days. Its juicy yet firm texture makes it ideal for slicing into salads and sandwiches, while its vibrant appearance and excellent flavor also lend themselves well to canning and standout market displays.
