Notes

"Visitacion Valley. Wicked good! Bright red, 3 oz oval fruit. The best flavor of any salad-type, super-early tomato. Rich, sweet tomato flavor. Compact plants are semi-determinate. 65 days. Space 18-24'' (46-61 cm) apart in rows 18-24'' (46-61 cm) apart. Full sun. Prefers consistent soil moisture."

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
