One of the most productive tomatoes we’ve grown, we were blown away with how loaded these vines were with 1/2”-3/4” bright yellow-green fruit. Even more, how tart and refreshing they were. Growing tomatoes to seed mean most of them are on the vine until almost rotting but if sacrifices are made lemon drops are at the top of the line. An Heirloom from right here in sunny Florida these tomatoes perform well in the heat but where they really shine is their tolerance for cold wet conditions making it an ideal variety for second warm season growing where possible.

Growing Instructions:
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in soilless starter mix. Sow seeds ¼” deep and keep moist and between 75-85 degrees until germination in 7-14 days. Cold temperatures slow down germination significantly. Transplant to 4” pot when two sets of true leaves show and the plant is safe to work with. If the weather is still cool and the plant is getting a leggy bump up to 1 gallon so the tomato doesn’t become root-bound. When the weather is warm and the frost date has passed, plant in full sun-rich well-draining soil location. Space determinate varieties 1-2’ apart, indeterminate staked 2-3’ apart and indeterminate unstacked 3-4’ apart. Keep soil evenly moist throughout the season but excess water causes cracking. Tomatoes prefer high nitrogen fertilizer when young and high phosphorus when setting fruit.
