Tomato Plant List – The Root Connection

All our tomatoes are early disease resistant varieties and have been trialed in our fields.

We grow all our tomatoes from seed without artificial heat. We use no pesticides, fungicides or growth stimulants. All varieties are Non-GMO. This makes the plants healthier and will acclimate better to life outdoors. Each pot is fertilized with Walt’s Organic Fertilizer (available for purchase here) and we recommend this for all vegetables.

Planting In Containers?

Any tomato can grow in a container, keep in mind the Indeterminate variety needs a 7-10 gallon container and something to climb on. For smaller 3 or 5 gallon containers, use a Determinate variety.
