Tomato 'Mountain Gold'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mountain Gold is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Mountain Gold likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Aim to sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Mountain Gold about 42 days before your last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mountain Gold is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.

This open-pollinated variety was released in 1993. Developed by Dr. Randolph G. Gardner at the North Carolina State Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Station.
