Description

Be sure to check out our Tomato Growing Guide for tips & tricks on being successful in growing tomatoes at home.

SummerPick Tomato is a hybrid, determinate variety with extra-large fruits and one of the best disease-resistance packages you'll find! This beefsteak tomato variety produces jumbo fruits that average 3/4 lb each. Summerpick is great for gardens of any size. It performs well when grown on a large-scale, but also makes the perfect patio tomato plant. Because it is determinate, it will have a concentrated fruit set where it produces large amounts of delicious tomatoes in a short time span. Along with its disease package, SummerPick is known for its remarkable flavor. It has the perfect balance of sugars and acids to give it a mouth-watering tomato tang. This is the ideal canning tomato.

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. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date. If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting tomatoes, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

Summer Pick is my favorite

15 seeds came in my packet . Had ten plants produce loads of delicious disease free tomatoes. I just found the packet 3 years later with 5 more seeds. 2 have germinated and I’m excited to have those this year.

I had tremendous success growing tomatoes on Long Island but no success here in SC until last season when I tried Summer Pick Tomato Seeds. These Tomatoes exceeded my expectations. The Plants were healthy thru out the growing season and the Tomatoes were Beautiful & Delicious. I grew 7 different varieties and Summer Pick was my best all-around tomato. Followed closely by Bella Rosa. The Plants produced an abundance of Tomatoes that were large, firm, with meaty red interiors and had terrific flavor. I had fruit from July into September. Summer Pick is a winner and I plan to make it my main crop this season. I planted with companion plants of Marigolds and Sweet Basil. For the 1st time I had no problems with Horn Worms. Last summer was typically hot and humid but Summer Pick Produced Fruit thru out.

I tried this Summer Pick based on Travis’s recommendation and it is a home run!!! It made tons of nice quality slicers that had excellent flavor. These also resisted cracking which makes it easy on the eyes for some. I like the lower growth height of this determinate variety as it limited my labor requirements. This is a PLUS when growing 300+ plants.
