Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.

"Livingston's Seed Annual
This ancient variety was the first to be introduced in 1870 by Alexander Livingston, America's greatest tomato breeder of the 19th century. He selected it from a variety grown as early as 1848 by Harrison W. Crosby, who specialized in canned tomatoes. Also known as "Livingston's Paragon" after its creator, "Paragon" is considered the ancestor of many modern tomatoes.
