Tomato Lycopersicon Esculentum is a heirloom mid season red tomato that is widely adapted with fruit that ripens evenly for a concentrated harvest. The tomatoes are large, 8-10 oz., smooth and meaty with a small seed cavity. This is one of the most popular varieties for the home garden, market growers, canning and shipping. Resistant to FW and NHR. Tolerant of LM, ST and VW. To obtain early harvests the seeds should be sown thinly in February or March in a greenhouse or in a warm, well-lit place. When the plants have 2-3 true leaves, transplant to peat pots or other plant containers and grow at 65¡ãF. As soon as all danger of frost is past plants can be set out in open ground spacing 3 feet each way.
Planting: Add a handful of garden fertilizer and ground limestone.
Fertilizing : Fertilize again when plants are 1 foot tall. If needed, supply water to ensure steady growth.
Staking : Use wire tomato cages, stakes or support for best quality.
Germination: 7-14 Days
