Bring on the Heat!

It is no secret that this year’s weather has shown uncharacteristically high temperatures. The good news for gardeners is that it means a longer planting season! Without the threat of frost, tomatoes can thrive in this weather – making now the ideal time to get started on your edible garden.

While it may be closer to the end of seed harvesting time, Mighty‘Mato tomato plants have already been started. They come in a specially designed container, ready to be transplanted into your home garden or a pot.

Aside from current optimal weather for tomato-planting, Mighty ‘Mato tomato plants have a greater tolerance to stresses of extreme temperature or poor soil. This resistance creates a much larger harvest window for Mighty ‘Mato plants, so the yield over the season is abundant – they produce three to four times the number of tomatoes.

The current weather trend has presented an incredible opportunity for gardens across America; more time to plant tomatoes means better harvests and fresher meals.

There couldn’t be a better time to plant your Mighty ‘Mato tomato plants. You’ll have plenty of delicious tomatoes by summer to add to your favorite dishes. Check out our recipes for some ideas on how to incorporate Mighty ‘Matos into your home cooking!

Use Tomatoes to Improve Your Health!

What do high cholesterol, sunburns and hunger have in common? They can all be minimized with tomatoes!

Tomatoes are considered somewhat of a super food – and for a good reason! They have many benefits that make them a staple in any home garden.

I love eating tomatoes as a snack or meal. The meaty texture fills me up and is absolutely delicious at the same time. Tomatoes are satisfying because they reduce levels of ghrelin – a hormone that our stomachs produce to tell the brain that our stomachs need to be fed. Ah, music to the dieter’s ear! Tomatoes fill you up and make you feel full longer, thus helping you stay slim.

Tomatoes also have the ability to reduce the risk of many cancer types and lower LDL, or bad cholesterol. They are packed with lycopene, a pigment that acts as an antioxidant to protect cells against damage. Lycopene also gives tomatoes their vibrant red color.

Another outstanding benefit of tomatoes is that they aid in skin health. They improve the skin’s ability to protect against UV rays, which are very harmful and can cause skin cancer. Those who are sunburn-prone or looking for skin rejuvenation will find the answer in tomatoes.

Tomatoes can help people lose weight, keep the heart healthy and aid with skin health. When you plant your garden, don’t forget to include tomatoes! Growing your own tomatoes will ensure the benefits of pesticide-free and vitamin-packed fruits.

Plant tomatoes in your home garden and take advantage of this super food to improve your health, starting now! Mighty ‘Mato tomato plants grow bigger, tastier and more tomatoes due to the grafting process, which means more bang for your buck!
