Growing Information
The Porter Tomato is well-suited for container-based cultivation, thriving under full sun. With maturity reached in approximately 75-85 days, these robust seedlings demand little while rewarding you generously. Given their indeterminate growth, they'll keep producing until frost hits, ensuring a bountiful harvest all season long. Remember, these tomatoes love the heat, so they're perfect for gardeners in warmer climates.
'Nir’s Take'
“I’ve not grown these earlier, but their reputation for heat tolerance and juiciness had me intrigued. Experimentation is the soul of gardening, and the Porter Tomato is my latest venture. It’s supposed to be super juicy which is why I want to try these out. You should always try and experiment because it’s your garden, it’s your kitchen. And you need to see what works and what doesn’t work, what tastes good and what doesn’t. When you grow your own, it always turns out to be better than what you had hoped.”
