Sheboygan Tomato

Sheboygan Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Seed Savers Exchange member Jeff Nekola sourced this variety in the late 1990’s. 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.

68-70 days to maturity

25 seeds per packet $4.45

Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep and keep soil warm. Transplant into 1 inch cells or 2 inch pots at 1-2 leaf stage. Staking tomatoes (indeterminate) should be transplanted into 3-4 inch pots. Harden off plants for 4-5 days after risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors once day and night temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees Celsius.
