Deepest pink, firm-fleshed fruits are a delightful treat when picked fresh from your own garden. Farmers are rediscovering this heirloom variety, so you can be sure of a superb harvest to satisfy the most commercially minded. Our seeds have been selected for their excellent germination rate, so be sure of a goodly number of plants from just a pinch of seeds. The compact habit is a decided advantage – no straggling vines to worry about.
Companion Plants: Marigolds are said to repel white fly and root knot nematode. Basil tastes great with tomato and is said to increase tomato yields when planted within 30cm whilst also repels flies and mosquitos.
Additional Features: Beds, Containers, Edible, Heirloom, Vines and Climbers
Tomatoes are best sown in trays about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds about 5mm deep and keep the soil temperature to about 20 celcius until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves the seedlings can be transplanted into larger individual pots. Keep the tomato seedlings in a warm sunny position and maintain moisture levels. When planting out, position the plants so that soil covers the entire stem up to the first leaves. This will increase root development and ensure a healthy strong plant. Plants should be placed in full sun and rich soil.
How to Harvest
Tomatoes ripened on the vine will be ready once they show their mature colour. The fruits can also be squeezed and should yield slightly when ripe. If frost occurs and temperatures drop late in the season all tomatoes can be picked. Tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine can be ripened indoors by being placed in a warm place out or direct sun.
