Cultivation Advice 

  • Sow in spring under glass or on a windowsill 1/16 inch deep.
  • Germination takes around 6-14 days at 65-75F
  • .Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots.
  • Grow on under cooler conditions and when about 8 inches tall,
  • either plant in their growing position in the greenhouse
  • or gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions
  • and plant out 18 inches apart in a warm and sunny spot in moist,
  • fertile well drained soil and keep watered.
  • What’s the difference between “indeterminate” and “determinate” tomatoes?
  • Determinate tomatoes, or “bush” tomatoes, are varieties that grow to a compact height (generally 3 – 4′).
  • Determinates stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks).
  • They require a limited amount of staking for support and are perfectly suited for container planting.
  • Indeterminate tomatoes will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost.
  • They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal. Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season.
  • They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.
