Product Information
Productive Italian heirloom variety with unusual, thick, tasty flesh. Excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants and fibre. The firm fruits are excellent roasted either stuffed or on their own. This variety is also traditionally preserved in vinegar.
Sowing Instructions
For greenhouse crops. Sow indoors, February to April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (0.25") deep, thinly in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degrees C (60-68 degrees F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border.
For outdoor crops. Delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 40cm (16") apart, when frosts are over. Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered spot. Outdoor crops will be smaller and later than those grown in a greenhouse.
