Days To Maturity
Average number of days from seeding date to harvest, within a specific crop group. If a transplanted crop: average number of days from transplant date. Not sure if crop is direct-seeded or transplanted? Check the Growing Information box for details. If crop can be both direct-seeded or transplanted, days to maturity refers to direct seeding. Days to maturity for all flowers and herbs is calculated from seeding date.

Margold (F1) Tomato Seed
Exclusive! Bicolor for sustained harvest.
Margold preserves the look and flavor of the red-streaked yellow heirlooms like Striped German, while improving upon resistance to disease and fruit defects. Very soft flesh has excellent, sweet flavor and meaty texture. Works well following Ginfiz, with more vigorous plants for a sustained harvest. Leaf mold resistance is an added benefit for indoor growers. 7–10 oz. fruit. NOTE: Margold requires a minimum of 13 hours of daylight, starting at emergence. This light requirement can be achieved using artificial, supplemental lighting. To determine when day length reaches 13 hours in your area, you can use a daylight calculator. Indeterminate.Disease Resistance:

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Solanum lycopersicumCULTURE:
Tomatoes thrive in a tunnel or greenhouse environment, which increases your control over fruit quality and extends the harvest season, both early and late. Growing info is similar to field tomatoes, but transplants are typically started earlier and may need additional development time (6–7 weeks) and supplemental lighting to maintain strong seedlings.DAYS TO MATURITY:
From transplanting.TRANSPLANTING INDOORS:
Provide 4–6 sq.ft. growing area per leader depending on variety, climate, disease pressure, and pruning methods. Plant deeply like field tomatoes unless grafted, in which case, plant with union above soil. For 5–7 days after transplanting, maintain 73–77°F (23–25°C) day and night temperature to promote rapid foliar and root growth. At fruit set, lower night temps to 62–66°F (17–19°C) and begin monitoring plants to manage them towards season-long productivity.TRELLISING/PRUNING:
Train plants to 1–2 branchless leaders onto separate vertical strings with trellis clips roughly 1" below every third leaf. Keep taut and reuse bottom clips, keeping at least 3–4 per string. Consider a lower-and-lean system if you have a long season, capable structure, and enough labor. Pruning leaves and clusters can help to manage diseases and steer towards maximum production. Keep grafted plants free from scion roots and rootstock suckers.INSECT PESTS AND DISEASE:
A slightly different set of pests attack indoor crops than outdoor crops, but similar management strategies apply. The use of beneficial insects and grafting is generally more successful in tunnels/greenhouses than open field.HARVEST/STORAGE:
Same as field, plus potential for truss harvesting.TRANSPLANTS:
