Product Information

Indeterminate.

The Number 1 cooking variety and unsurpassed for sauces; dry and meaty, larger plum fruits of deep red skin colour. Early to ripen and crops well over a long season.

Tomatoes require a very fertile moisture retentive soil which has had generous applications of well-rotted manure or compost. Choose a site which receives full sun and shelter from strong wind. Sow seeds, under protection or on the windowsill from February to April. Sow in pots/seed trays, 7-10mm deep, using a good compost, at a minimum temperature of 15C.

Pot on in individual 7.5cm pots when large enough to handle. When the plants have reached 20cm high they should be transplanted outdoors, either under plastic for protective cropping or into the open ground when all danger of frost has passed. Also suitable for planting in large containers or growing bags outdoors in very sheltered sites. In very warm areas, cropping can be extended well into autumn by planting late crops in June-July. Plants can also be grown in the glasshouse.
