Description: A nice big fleshy ribbed tomato, tasty and juicy. Sow indoors, under light, approximately 6 to 8 weeks before the expected date of the last ground frost in your area. Harden off seedlings before planting in the garden. Growth is best at temperatures of 21-24°C or higher. You must prepare your soil well by incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure or compost, at least 30 cm deep. Also add an all-purpose fertilizer before planting. Transplant the tomato plants 45-60 cm apart, in rows 90 cm apart. Plant indeterminate types on stakes, leaving 38 to 45 cm between plants in single rows, 45 cm apart. Tomatoes tolerate a wide range of fertile, well-drained soils. They require constant humidity, but you have to be careful not to overwater, which would have the effect of reducing the flavor of the fruit. Grow them in a warm, sunny location. Harvest fruits as they ripen. Before frost, pull the plants out of the ground by the roots, and hang upside down indoors to allow the remaining fruit to ripen.
Use: Perfect for sandwiches, salads and coulis.
