Moskvich Slicer Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

New seed for 2025!  The 6-8 ounce uniform, deep red fruits are a Northwest winner.  These were the first variety recommended to me by Michelle Crawford, our local plant start/tomato maven.  She loves this tomato and now I do as well!  They produce early, abundantly, the crack-resistant fruits are of outstandingly good flavor, used fresh or for canning and cooking. Performs well in cool to cold conditions, like so many of the Russian types. Indeterminate so needs trellising.

Growing Tomatoes: 

There are entire books and many online resources for starting and growing tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest.  Here is a great link from the Tilth Alliance about growing great Tomatoes in Seattle. The basics?   Start tomato seeds indoors with supplemental heat and light in February and March. Plant when soil has warmed to 60 degrees.  Tomatoes like to grow in compost rich soil.  Stop watering plants in August for sweeter fruits that ripen earlier.  

Days to maturity: 60 

Packet contains ~25 seeds
