Pennington Better Boy Tomato

Fresh, from the garden, hand picked tomatoes are a delicious summer treat. The Better Boy variety of tomato yields large, one-pound fruits midseason. It is resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt and other diseases. It's dense foliage protects the fruit from too much sun exposure, preventing sunscald. Tomatoes contain tons of important nutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds that benefit our health. Fun and easy to grow, Better Boy tomatoes require the perfect sunny garden location in a rich, well-draining soil. Fertilize your tomatoes when first planted and then again when your fruits begin to set, with a vegetable specific granular fertilizer according to the package directions. When first planted place a sturdy tomato cage around your plants to provide the necessary support to hold your mature plants and heavy fruits. Provide water to the base of your plants when the top 2" of the soil is dry. Enjoy growing your very own delicious tomatoes!
