Triple L Crop tomatoes, known scientifically as Solanum lycopersicum, belong to the Solanaceae family, which also includes potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. These tomatoes are particularly valued for their high yield and resistance to various diseases; they are a popular choice among both home gardeners and commercial growers.
One of the standout characteristics of Triple L Crop tomatoes is their vigorous growth habit; these plants can reach heights of up to 6 feet and require sturdy support. They produce an abundance of medium-sized fruits that are deep red in color, with a rich flavor that makes them perfect for fresh eating, cooking, and canning. The fruits typically mature around 70-75 days after transplanting, making them a mid-season variety.

How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are self pollinating, so separate by 50ft is sufficient. Harvest tomatoes when ripe and you can even let them set for a week or so before saving seeds. Once you are ready to harvest simply cut in half scoop out seeds and pulp into a mason jar of water for fermenting. Then seal jar with a lid and place in and warm place out of direct sunlight. After 5 to 7 days of fermenting pour out seeds floating on top of the water along with mold and then pour rest of the good seeds, on the bottom, over a fine mess strainer to catch them. Dry well in fine mesh or paper towels but turn often so they don't stick to paper.

Triple L tomatoes
These were really great tasting tomatoes. Large, meaty and not alot of "jelly" inside. Grew to about 7 or 8 ft tall with delightfully pink tomatoes. Once picked, they turn red quickly. I will definitely grow again.
