|---|---|
| Row Spacing | 36" |

| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting. Transplant when air temperature is 45°F or warmer, usually 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°‒90°F. |
| Direct Sow | For mild climates only: 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F. |
| Special Care | Do not mulch when weather is still cool; the roots of young plants need to be in soil that is warmed by the sun. When the weather warms up and plants are established, mulch to a depth of 2" or 3" with a material such as straw, leaves, or compost, to conserve moisture, reduce weed growth, and keep the roots warm. |
| Growing & Harvesting | "Moneymaker' tomatoes are at the peak of sun-ripened deliciousness when they are fully red, and have a slight give when gently squeezed. Tomatoes may also be picked at the “first blush” stage, when 50% of the tomatoes' color has begun to change, and ripened at room temperature without decreasing flavor or nutrition. Picking often and early increases yield, and decreases the risk of cracking and pest damage. Ripe fruit left on the vine during rain or watering is more susceptible to splitting. About 1 month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and undersized fruit off the plant, signaling to the plant to ripen what’s left. Pick any unripe fruit before frost, and store them indoors in a single layer away from direct sunlight to ripen." |

- TRACY G. H.IL, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/30/26Very Robust & Excellent Germination Rate
First off, every seed I sowed germinated. That's impressive.
Second, all 12 seedlings are growing into robust, hearty plants. I really look forward to this growing season, and tasting the fruits.

This seed packet generated a stupendous amount of tomatoes for me! I grew several varieties to test out in my Central Coastal California climate and these were prolific. I was harvesting well into December. These and the Cherokee varieties fare better in our climate with a blah start to summer and a warm finish in November.

These money maker matos are the most prolific one I have gotten from yall so far, and it’s not because the rest are bad haha.
I started them around January 12th, despite having to up pot it, it stayed lush and green.
Will have an update in 4-5 months

Just get them! This is my first year having a proper garden and of course I wanted tomatoes. I also wanted to experiment to see what I'd like. So, I got San Marzanos, Oxhearts, and these Moneymakers. The name is accurate. We've had tons of growth and fruiting and 0 blossom end rot. The other two varieties are doing okay, now that I've got my watering down, but these Moneymakers are so hardy and productive that I don't know why I wouldn't grow them every year!
