If people have been telling you that heirloom varieties aren’t heavy bearers, use Siberian tomatoes to prove them wrong. And in case you were wondering how they got the name, this variety was first bred in Siberia. As a result, you may be surprised by its cold tolerance. In the warmer parts of the country, it should be possible to grow all year round. The fruits are a rich red when ripe, and like most heirloom varieties, the flavour is spectacular.

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.
