Kellogg?s Breakfast Tomato History
Pumpkin colored tomatoes. Kellogg?s breakfast tomatoes are a cheery orange with sweet tangy flavor and super charged growth. These babies may get up to two pounds and are packed with juicy, meaty goodness and very few seeds. The Kellogg tomato plant is an heirloom variety that is bound to please the entire family both as a slicing tomato and a robust sauce variety.
Kellogg?s Breakfast Tomato History
Heirloom tomatoes are those varieties with a rich history of use and proven growth and fruiting. These types are useful in a heritage garden and often have interesting stories behind their development. Kellogg?s breakfast tomato history is one of the more delightful tales and the fruit was voted one of the best tomatoes by Sunset magazine. Amusingly enough, the tomato is not named for the breakfast cereal developer of fame, Will Keith Kellogg, but for a humble gardener in Redford, Michigan.
Sweet and meaty, the Kellogg tomato plant was discovered by Darrell Kellogg in his own garden. He liked the tomato so much he saved seed and began to breed the variety. It?s easy to see why Darrell was so taken by the fruit.
About Kellogg?s Breakfast Tomatoes
These beautiful fruits are a stand out in flavor, production and texture. The interior is a sunny bright color reminiscent of fresh squeezed orange juice with a taste like a barrel full of sunshine. The sweet, but tangy, flavor is a perfect balance for any use and the tomatoes are resistant to sunburn and blossom end rot, developing without blemish almost every time.
Kellogg?s is considered an indeterminate variety, which means it needs staking and will continue to produce all season until the first frosts kill the vines. Failure to stake plants will find fruit bowing to the ground where slugs and other buggies can get at them. You might also end up with snapped stems from the weight of the tomatoes.
Try tying individual fruit vines to the stakes or cage wires to help support the heavy fruit. The plants get huge, at 4 to 6 feet, but have fairly sparse, narrow, deeply cut foliage allowing plenty of sunlight into buds and developing fruit.

When to Plant Tomato Seeds
You can start tomatoes indoors or go straight to your garden bed. If starting indoors, plant 4-6 weeks before the last killing frost. Transplanting is best done 1 to 2 weeks after the average date of the last frost for your region. If starting in your garden bed, wait 1-2 weeks after the last killing frost to plant.
Where to Plant Tomato Seeds
If planting directly in your garden, choose area that has plenty of light and well draining soil.
How to Plant Tomato Seeds
Planting in a growing tray for indoor start: Fill each spot with soil leaving a quarter inch at the top. Put 2-3 seeds per container then sprinkle soil on top. Keep soil moist but not soaked. Once plants start forming, more water can be applied. Keep in area that allows for plenty of sunlight and rotate regularly. Directly planting in garden: Plant in rows with 2-3 seeds per section with about 2' separation from next section. Add stakes as needed to keep plants upright.
How to Harvest Tomatoes
When the tomato is 1/2 green and 1/2 pink is when you can start harvesting your tomato. It will continue to ripen once picked. Keep in cool place to allow it to ripen without damaging the fruit or losing flavor or nutrients.
Don't forget to plant Marigolds around your tomatoes!
- So why do marigolds and tomatoes grow well together?
- Marigolds and tomatoes are good garden buddies with similar growing conditions.
- Research studies have indicated that planting marigolds between tomatoes protects the tomato plants from harmful root-knot nematodes in the soil.
- Many gardeners believe that the pungent scent of marigolds also discourages a variety of pests such tomato hornworms, whiteflies, thrips, and maybe even rabbits!
SEED STORING
Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location.
Most seeds have a long shelf life, years even, but heat and moisture will cut that life short.
Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.
