Sheboygan Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Seed Savers Exchange member Jeff Nekola sourced this variety in the late 1990s. The tomato has been grown since the early 1900s by Lithuanian immigrants in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Consistent production from indeterminate vines of pink, slender, paste-like tapered fruits. A very flavourful and early variety that is great for canning. Tomatoes ripen well off the vine and store well.
Indeterminate growth.
68-70 days to maturity.
25 seeds per packet.Â
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in warm soil. Transplant seedlings into 1‑inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10 °C. Provide support such as cages or stakes to keep plants tidy and accessible at harvest.
