Legend Tomato Seeds give gardeners a real chance at beautiful, ripe tomatoes even where late blight is a recurring problem. Bred at Oregon State University, this open-pollinated variety was developed specifically to combine extra-early maturity with tolerance to late blight, making it an excellent choice for the Northwest, New England, and other cool, wet regions. Plants produce big, glossy red fruits that are uniformly round, smooth, and firm, with a classic, rich tomato flavor ideal for slicing onto sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
Maturing in about 68 days, Legend is one of the earliest slicing tomatoes in the garden. The determinate plants stay compact yet productive, reaching about 48 inches tall and setting generous clusters of 8-ounce fruits over a focused harvest window. Strong foliage helps protect the fruits as they ripen, while the variety’s late blight tolerance gives gardeners added confidence when conditions turn damp and disease pressure rises.
For gardeners who have struggled with disease in the past or who simply want an early, reliable red slicer, Legend Tomato Seeds offer a standout combination of flavor, earliness, and resilience. It’s a smart choice for raised beds, small gardens, and any cool-climate plot where a dependable tomato is a must.
