Golden tomatoes blush red from the base - but when you slice them open, the colour fest begins. Marked with a crimson star at its centre, Caitydid tomatoes are among the best-looking slicing tomatoes you can choose. Plus, although it's an indeterminate variety, these beauties don't get uncontrollably vigorous in their growth. Did your last store bought tomatoes taste watery? This lovely variety will refresh your palate with a strong flavour that balances sweetness with acidity.

Growing Information
How to Sow
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.
