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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSEED PLANTING TIPS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBotanical name: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSolanum lycopersicum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGrowth type: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-indeterminate-tomato-seeds\" target=\"_self\"\u003eIndeterminate\u003c\/a\u003e, trellis support, regular pruning \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTomato size: Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDepth to plant seeds: .25\" deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpacing between plants: 24\" apart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpacing between rows: 36\"-48\" apart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to germinate (sprout): 7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGermination soil temps: 75F-95F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSoil needs: 6.0-6.5 pH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSun needs: Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrost hardy: No\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlanting season: Spring, summer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e# of plants per sq. ft.: Appx. 1 plant per 2 sq. ft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDays to maturity: 70-80 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/grow-guide-tomato\" data-mce-href=\"\/pages\/grow-guide-tomato\" target=\"_self\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eClick here to view our full Tomato grow guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGood companion plants:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/basil-seeds\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/basil-seeds\" target=\"_self\"\u003eBasil\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/borage\" data-mce-href=\"\/products\/borage\" target=\"_self\"\u003eBorage\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-onion-seeds\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/shop-onion-seeds\" target=\"_self\"\u003eOnion\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/parsley\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/parsley\" target=\"_self\"\u003eParsley\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-peppers\" data-mce-href=\"\/collections\/all-peppers\" target=\"_self\"\u003ePepper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeedsNow","offers":[{"title":"Sampler Pack (Appx. 10 seeds)","offer_id":41009731895429,"sku":"E7256","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Pack (Appx. 50 seeds)","offer_id":41009731928197,"sku":"E7256","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/files\/comingsoon.jpg?v=1730545352","url":"https:\/\/www.scotlandsarchitects.com\/products\/tomato-marglobe-improved-indeterminate-copy","provider":"scotlandsarchitects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
