Heirloom Money Maker Tomato Seeds

Moneymaker is one of the oldest heirloom tomato varieties in the world! Deep red, smooth, round, 4 Oz tomatoes grow in clusters. This variety does very well in hot conditions but will bear in just about any weather, including humid weather. It takes about 77 days to produce a crop. Indeterminate. Approx. 50 seeds

Sowing: Start Moneymaker tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4" deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. 

Growing: Indeterminate tomato varieties often perform best when provided with a trellis or support, since this protects them from various pests and diseases in connection with too much soil contact. Put the supports in place before the seedlings develop vines. As the vines begin to grow, tying them to the support helps their development. Since temperatures below 55 degrees F can damage production, protect the plants if temperatures drop. A thick layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds; water the plants once a week, but avoid getting the leaves wet. Pruning the "suckers," or shoots that grow between the main stem and the branches, will greatly improve the production and strength of the plant. Moneymaker tomatoes grow well in heat and humidity.
