We aren’t sure how this little tomato got dubbed "evil". Perhaps it's the variable colour, which tends towards the green with flashes of yellow and orange-red. It's not a super-sweet variety, but the tang definitely comes with a squeeze of sweetness. It's extra-juicy, with large locules and fairly thin but beautifully-textured flesh. And those vines are vigorous. They've been recorded as scrambling for up to 2 metres. How will they do in your garden? Try them and let us know!

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.
