The Marglobe Improved tomato plant is a hybrid variety that has gained recognition among gardeners for its robust growth and high yield potential. This cultivar is particularly well-suited for home gardens, as it offers a combination of disease resistance and adaptability to various growing conditions. The Marglobe tomato is known for its round, medium-sized fruit, which typically weighs between 5 to 7 ounces and features a rich, red color when fully ripe.

One of the key advantages of the Marglobe Improved tomato plant is its resistance to common tomato diseases, such as Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt. Studies have shown that this variety can exhibit up to a 30% higher resistance to these diseases compared to non-hybrid varieties. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to minimize crop loss due to disease.

In terms of growth habits, the Marglobe Improved tomato plant is classified as an indeterminate variety, meaning it continues to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season until frost. This trait allows for extended harvesting periods, often yielding fruit from mid-summer until the first frost in the fall. Gardeners can expect to harvest approximately 10 to 15 pounds of tomatoes per plant, depending on growing conditions and care.

When planting Marglobe tomatoes, it is essential to consider their sunlight and soil requirements. These plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Additionally, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter is crucial for optimal growth. Soil pH should be maintained between 6.0 and 6.8 for best results. Regular watering is also important, as tomatoes require consistent moisture to develop properly, with an ideal range of 1 to 2 inches of water per week.

To support the growth of Marglobe Improved tomato plants, gardeners may consider staking or caging the plants to prevent sprawling and to promote better air circulation. This practice can help reduce the risk of fungal diseases and improve overall fruit quality. Fertilization should be approached with care; a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again during the growing season can enhance growth without leading to excessive foliage at the expense of fruit production.

In conclusion, the Marglobe Improved tomato plant is a valuable addition to any garden, offering a combination of disease resistance, high yield, and adaptability. By understanding its specific needs and growth habits, gardeners can successfully cultivate this variety and enjoy a bountiful harvest of flavorful tomatoes.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU

Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.

For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.  The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.

We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.

We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds.  We don't touch that stuff and we never will.

The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center. 

Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated).  Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.

To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
