Tomato - Solanum lycopersicum moneymaker
Moneymaker Tomato (solanum Lycopersicum) is an indeterminate tomato variety, which means it will continue to grow and produce fruit until the first frost. It is a popular variety for home gardeners because it is easy to grow and produces large yields of delicious, juicy tomatoes. The tomatoes are typically medium-sized, about 5-8 cm in diameter. They are bright red when ripe and have a slightly sweet flavour. The flesh is firm and meaty, making them ideal for slicing, canning, or making sauces. Moneymaker tomatoes are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium. They are also low in calories and fat.
Choose a location that receives full sun. The Moneymaker tomato is a sun-loving plant and needs at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Plant the seeds in the spring or early summer, when the weather is warm and settled. Water the plants regularly, especially during hot weather. It is a heavy feeder and needs plenty of water to produce fruit. Tomatoes are part of the nightshade family and have been eaten since 700 AD. They are the foundation for any pasta sauce and are great raw in salads.
