The substantial tomatoes have thick, fleshy interiors and good flavour, making them particularly well suited to slicing for sandwiches, burgers and fresh salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped at Oregon State University for cool conditions and short growing seasons, Oregon Spring is known for setting fruit in lower temperatures than many tomatoes. Its combination of early maturity and high yields makes it especially useful where the warm growing season is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants have a compact, determinate bush habit and produce their crop over a relatively concentrated period. They require less training than climbing tomatoes, although support can be useful once plants become 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. Plants are compact and generally require less training than climbing varieties, although staking or caging can help support 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":46649649856730,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_d1b6f0a7-bfa5-47b9-8301-a55a504cc8b5.jpg?v=1754016772","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/tomato-oregon-spring-1858","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
