(Semi-Determinate/75 Days)
Campbell’s 146 aka KC 164 was developed in Riverton, NJ by Campbell’s tomato breeder George B. Reynard and released in 1956. This is the original Campbell’s Soup Tomato and has that old time, nostalgic tomato flavor. The 5 ft. tall plants produce tons of round, red, delicious tomatoes that are sweet, tangy, and complex. Even though this is a fantastic tomato for cooking and canning, it’s also a great slicer!

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
