Oregon Spring tomatoes are an early-maturing, determinate variety specially bred for cooler climates and short growing seasons. These compact, bushy plants produce medium-sized, deep red fruits with a rich, sweet flavor and low acidity. Oregon Spring tomatoes are known for their meaty texture, minimal seeds, and versatility, making them perfect for slicing, sauces, and canning. Their cold tolerance and early harvest make them a reliable choice for northern gardeners or areas with unpredictable weather.

Planting Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep soil evenly moist.

- Sunlight: Requires full sun, 6-8 hours daily.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base to prevent foliage diseases.
- Support: While determinate, plants may benefit from light staking or small cages to support the fruit load.
- Harvesting: Pick when tomatoes are fully red and slightly firm to the touch.
