Tomato, Gold Medal

You know with a name like Gold Medal, it is going to be a winner.  This heirloom variety was first introduced in 1921!!   We first fell in love with the gorgeous color--a sunset orange with red marbling, then we fell in love because of the outstanding flavor.  Your burgers or sandwiches will get a serious upgrade with a few slices of Gold Medal tomato! Gold Medal is an abundant producer of very large, meaty, 1 lb+ fruits.  Gold Medal tomato is big, beautiful and delicious! Favorite plant color combos:  Gold Medal Tomato + Cardinal BasilGold Medal Tomato + Dreamin' Remix ZinniaGold Medal Tomato + Stocky Red Roaster Pepper  Tomatoes thrive full sun and well-draining, fertile soil.  Plant the stem deep in the hole (we like to plant ours all the way up to the first set of bottom leaves!) as it makes for a stronger root system - plants will root along any part of the stem that touches the soil.  Amend with compost or worm castings and mulch to ensure good soil moisture for the growing seaso
