Late-blight resistant Harvest Moon tomato offers the same virtues of an heirloom but earlier, with a more consistent size and stronger fruit set. Beautiful golden orange fruits are blushed with red on the exterior and interior and have a wonderful, lightly sweet, low-acid flavor. We were harvesting the large fruits by early August and still picking them in mid-September. The first large orange disease-resistant tomato we have offered in many years, bred by Emily Rose Haga at Johnny’s. 

10 seeds

Solanum lycopersicum

Indeterminate

Germination: 7-14 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Starting Indoors: 6 weeks before the last frost. Provide 75-80ºF soil temperatures. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot, thin to the strongest seedling, or use the 20 Row seedling flat, transplanting into individual pots when seedlings get their 3rd set of leaves. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. Transplant out after the last frost. Space 24-36" apart

Sowing Outdoors: Only in areas with very long growing seasons. Sow after the last frost. 

Harvest: When fruit is red (or the color of the variety planted) and firm.

Tips: Harvest Moon tomato should be planted in fertile soil, amended with compost, mulched, and provided even moisture. Plant seedlings deeper than they were growing in the containers, makes a stronger root system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
