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.

The Lebanese, White Squash is a favorite amongst many home gardeners. Most would recommend planting 2-4 bushes to feed a family throughout the season, while for smaller families or couples, 2 plants would be plenty. It really depends on how much squash you love to eat and whether or not you're growing other varieties at the same time. We do however recommend planting at least two plants for better pollination. The better the pollination, the better the fruit count! It's been reported that some gardeners have experienced up to 15 fruits per plant, however, that is on the high side. Most plants will produce 4-6 fruit, again depending on the pollination and other variables that come into play. There's just not an exact answer for this. You're almost at the mercy of mother nature on this, but most would agree it's a great producer! They're better picked when young and tender unless you're planning on stuffing them, then baking. In that case, they are let to grow larger, again, which will keep the plant from producing more fruit if you don't harvest regularly from them. So the bottom line is, if you want more fruit, harvest more regularly and when the squash is young and tender. This will send signals to the plant to bloom and flower again to keep reproducing. Generally, this plant will get 2-3 feet high, but regular fertilizing would, of course, alter these numbers as well. If your soil is in good condition with lots of healthy organic matter, you should have no problem getting plants that reach this size. May we suggest growing on black plastic for weed & insect control?
