The tomatoes have thin skins and a mild, sweet flavour, making them excellent for snacking, salads, lunchboxes and colourful fresh platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Dr Jim Baggett at Oregon State University and released in the 1980s, Gold Nugget was bred specifically for cooler climates and shorter growing seasons. Its ability to crop early and reliably in relatively mild summer conditions has helped make it a popular home garden variety well beyond the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact determinate plants have a tidy growth habit and are well suited to pots, smaller gardens and limited spaces. Despite their modest size, plants can carry an impressive crop and may benefit from light support when heavily laden with fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.

In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Bush plants require little training, although support may be useful under a heavy crop. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds ","offers":[{"title":"packet","offer_id":46788074340570,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_8240c555-ae80-47bc-ba68-4b605c085df2.jpg?v=1754017399","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/tomato-gold-nugget","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
