{"product_id":"tomatillo-toma-verde","title":"Tomatillo - Toma Verde","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis tomatillo is early maturing. The plants grow to 3-6' tall, and are very prolific. Easy to grow. The fruits are large, flat-round green 2-4 oz fruits that are sweet yet tart at the same time. They are wonderful when used in a green salsa or Mexican cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are very tolerant to extreme conditions from drought to even cool weather and cool nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are adapted to grow in both southern and northern climates. They are encased in a papery shell with green fruit. When the fruit is ripe, it turns from green to brown and will split.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \"Rio Grande Verde\" variety is larger than the \"Toma Verde\". However the Toma Verde variety generally matures earlier than the Rio Grande.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e .070mg Approximately 50seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-72\" apart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpace Between Rows\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36-84\" apart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4-1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOPEN POLLINATED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIPS - COMPANIONS PLANTS:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsparagus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCucumbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParsley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSOME ALLIES INCLUDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasil repels flies and mosquitos, improves growth and flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBee Balm, chives and mint improve health and flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDill (until mature) improves growth and flavor, but once mature, it stunts tomato growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarigold deters nematodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Mountain Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46450967314489,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/4182\/3545\/files\/Tomatillo_-_Toma_Verde.webp?v=1788657203","url":"https:\/\/bearmountainseeds.com\/products\/tomatillo-toma-verde","provider":"Bear Mountain Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
