| | Watch Your Garden Grow - Tomato |
| | Tomatoes are usually easy to grow and a few plants provide an adequate harvest for most families. | | | For fall harvest and early winter storage of tomatoes, late plantings may be made from late spring until mid-summer, depending on the length of the growing season. | | | With tomatoes used fresh, it is usually seen as an advantage to have fruit ripening over an extended season on individual plants, but ripening most of the crop in a short period has been a bonus for paste tomatoes because processing activities are best done in fairly large lots. |

| | Tomato History |
| | Tomatoes ripen off the vine in response to the chemical ethylene, which is produced by the fruit as the development of the seeds nears completion. | | | Tomato plants are naturally self pollinating, and a general characteristic of self-pollinating plants is that they become genetically homozygous after many generations. | | | That the tomato originated in South America, and that the tomato was an important crop among New World Indians by the 15th century is supported by strong evidence. |

| | Tomato varieties mature over a wide range, commonly from 75 days for early cherry types to 85 days for early full size fruit types, 100 days for medium, and 110 days for later, full season varieties from direct seeded plantings. | | | Tomatoes should be kept out of cold, wet rooms because in addition to potential development of chilling injury, extended refrigeration damages the ability of fruit to develop desirable fresh tomato flavor. | | | Tomato yields vary with area and number of harvests. |
