Tomato

**Tomatoes** are a type of Crop which can be grown in Atomicrops.

# Obtaining

## Finding Tomato Seeds

 Tomato seeds can be found in the second Plains area, most commonly from clearing Squirrel and Bulb Camps. They are also sometimes dropped by defeated Enemies, with a higher chance to obtain them from killing Beeson or when using the Flying Squirrels Weapon. Cutting Weeds may also drop Tomato seeds, especially in later Seasons. See the Related Items section of this page for other sources.

Alternatively, they have a high chance to be obtained when purchasing a  Silver Tier Plains Seed bag. These are sold for 70 at the Garden Shop in Fall.

## Fertilization and Megacrop Variant

Tomatoes need 6 Fertilizer to be fully fertilized. Creating a Megacrop (from 4 Tomato plants in a 2x2 formation) therefore requires 24. A mega Tomato requires a further 18 to become fully fertilized itself.

## Watering

Small Tomatoes need 1 unit of water and a freshly merged Mega Tomato needs 2 units of water to fully grow.
