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 greenhouseor 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.
