We're starting them for you! We're excited to offer our Shelby Tomato plugs. The Shelby Tomato is a determinate hybrid variety that thrives in conditions that other tomatoes would surely suffer and its extensive disease package of the Shelby is what sets this San Marzano-style fruit apart from the rest. The dark red fruits are extra-large, weighing from 3.5 to 5.5 ounces, and the elongated barrel-style stores well after harvest. The widely-adapted plants are hardy and compact and will produce even in the harshest conditions. Solanum Lycopersicum. 10,20, 40, or 100 plugs
Tomatoes are in the nightshade family along with peppers and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set.
