Tomato Varieties Harvest Times-- Harvest to Table

Tomatoes can come to harvest in early summer, mid-summer, or late summer depending on the variety. Early-summer harvest tomatoes are ready to be picked in 70 days or less after seedlings are planted. Mid-summer harvest tomato varieties come to harvest in 70 to 80 days after seedlings are planted. Late-summer harvest varieties come to harvest 80 or more days after seedlings are transplanted.

As a general rule, tomato seedlings are 4 to 6 weeks old at transplant-size time–that is about 30 to 40 days old. The number of days from seed sowing to transplant size is not counted in the number of days to harvest. When you see the number of days to harvest on a tomato plant label or listing, those are the number of days from transplant time to harvest (this is a long-time convention).

You can use the following lists to plan a succession of tomato harvests. If you plant one early-summer harvest variety, one mid-summer variety, and one late-summer variety at the same time, they will grow to maturity and come to harvest in succession–over a period of several weeks.

Early-summer harvest tomato varieties

Early-summer tomato varieties reach ripeness or maturity 70 days or less after the tomato seedling is transplanted into the garden. Early-summer tomatoes are also known as early-season tomatoes.

Early-summer or early-season tomatoes are often smaller and firmer than mid and late-season varieties which stay on the vine longer and are exposed to more hot weather.

Early-season tomatoes are the best choice for regions where the growing season is short or where the gardener wants to have more than one tomato harvest in a season. In cold regions, the early-season tomato may be the main crop for the season, but in warm regions, an early-season tomato can be planted early in spring or late in summer–as successions to the main-season tomato crop.

Here is a checklist of popular early-season tomato varieties: included in this list are the type of tomato, the color, size, and flavor; also listed are the average days to maturity, whether the tomato is determinate or indeterminate, and whether it is disease resistant.

Midsummer tomato varieties

Mid-summer tomato varieties come to harvest in the middle of summer. Tomatoes that come to harvest in mid-summer are also known as mid-season or main-crop tomatoes. Mid-season tomatoes are ready for harvest about 70 to 80 days after being transplanted into the garden.

This list includes variety names, fruit size, days to harvest, and disease resistance.

Sizes include small salad-size tomatoes that are usually in the 2 to 3-ounce category; midsize slicing, paste, sauce, and cooking tomatoes that are usually 4 to 8 ounces; and large slicing and juicing tomatoes that weigh in at 9 ounces and greater. (There are a few tomatoes that weigh in excess of a pound or more, and these you will take to the county fair.)

Days to harvest are noted. Days to harvest are not days to harvest from sowing, but days to harvest from transplanting. Tomato seeds are best started indoors or under cover where they can get optimum light and heat early on. Tomatoes do best when they get a 6 to 8-week indoor head start before going into the garden. Add the days to harvest listed here to the 6 weeks of growing these tomatoes have already put in.

Selecting a tomato for your garden can sometimes be an exercise in how much room you have for plants and when you want your crop to come to harvest.

Determinate tomato vines tend to be more diminutive. These tomatoes can be grown on the ground or in low cages. Determinate vines blossom, set fruit, and then grow a little more before harvest; their lives are determined. All of the fruit on a determinate tomato plant develops at about the same time so the harvest period is concentrated and short.

Indeterminate tomato vines continue to produce new shoots and blossoms even after their first fruit set; they go on and on. That means indeterminate plants have tomatoes at all stages of development and the harvest will last over a longer period. Indeterminate tomatoes tend to grow tall and wide and are best grown in tall cages or on stakes or trellises.

Your choice of a tomato for growing might involve your desire to grow that same tomato next year (and the year after). You can do this economically by saving the seeds of plants grown this season. Open-pollinated plants are varieties that grow true from seed; the seeds from this season’s plants will produce seedlings just like the parent plant. That is generally not the case with hybrid seeds and plants. Hybrid seeds are often the result of calculated and controlled pollination of inbred plants. These plants are bred for particular attributes, but as a result, their seeds can be sterile or may not reliably produce the same plant as the parent.

Finally, a plant’s natural or “selected” ability to overcome diseases and pests can be very important. That has been one of the objectives of tomato hybridization. Tomatoes are now often labeled according to their resistance to verticillium wilt (V), fusarium wilt (F) nematodes (N), tobacco mosaic virus (T), and Alternaria (A).

Midsummer Costoluto Genovese

Costoluto Genovese is a large, juicy Italian heirloom tomato with an acidic-tart full-tomato flavor well suited for slicing and serving fresh or cooking.

Costoluto Genovese has been a Mediterranean favorite since at least the early eighteenth century. The key to this mid-season beefsteak’s rich tomato flavor is heat. Grown away from the dry, sun-drenched gardens of the Mediterranean this tomato might disappoint.

Mid-season tomatoes such as Costoluto Genovese are ready for harvest mid-summer. Late-season tomatoes demand 80 or more days to mature; mid-season tomatoes reach their peak at about 70 days and sometimes earlier.

Costoluto Genovese is heavily lobed, even scalloped. In profile, this tomato appears flattened and fluted to the point of convoluted. Appearances needn’t be off-putting; Costoluto Genovese slices nicely at its scallops and is perfect for adding to fresh vegetable plates. Of course, like any other beefsteak, this tomato is very meaty and can be sliced across to make a tasty tomato and basil sandwich.

In Italy Costoluto Genovese is a favorite for pasta sauces and pastes; for these, remove this tomato’s medium-thick skin. Of course, the skin makes Costoluto Genovese a good choice for broiling and grilling. And if this prolific, indeterminate producer delivers more than you can keep up with, juicing is an excellent alternative for Costoluto Genovese.

Some people won’t hear about adding beefsteak tomatoes to mixed salads; they say sliced, cut tomatoes weep, dilute the dressing, and make the salad soggy. Well, the solution is quite simple: simply let the slices or wedges drain well on a paper towel. No formality should deny you one of the tastiest pleasures of summer.

The rich, sharp flavor of Parmesan cheese is a good match for almost every tomato, no exception is the Costoluto Genovese. Freshly grated Parmesan, complex-flavored and granular–grana, as they say in Italy–is a fine match for this broiled Costoluto Genovese recipe.

Late-season harvest tomato varieties

Late-summer tomato varieties reach ripeness or maturity 80 days or more after the seedling has been transplanted into the garden. Late-summer tomatoes are also known as late-season tomatoes.

Late-season tomatoes generally bear the largest fruits and are commonly the tastiest tomatoes because they have been on the vine the longest and have ripened in the heat of summer.

For the longest tomato harvest set out late-season tomatoes at the same time you set out early-season tomatoes and mid-season tomatoes, that way you will have a succession of tomato harvests.

Here is a checklist of popular late-summer or late-season tomato varieties: included in each entry is the type of tomato, the color, size, and flavor; also listed are the average days to maturity, whether the tomato is determinate or indeterminate and whether it is disease resistant.
