This variety was developed as part of the “Dwarf Tomato Project” and is an OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) Pledged variety.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
INDETERMINATE: Plants grow and produce fruit continually, they require strong support and pruning— this helps with air flow.
TIMING: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Harden off seedlings before transplanting, after last frost.
GERMINATION: 6-30 days. Prefers soil temperatures above 20°C.
SEEDING: Sow 1/8”-1/4” deep. Space plants 18”-24” apart. Space rows 24”-36” apart. Crowding increases risk of disease.
GROWING: Lack of adequate light can make seedlings leggy, bring light closer if this happens. Transplant seedlings deeply, up to their first set of leaves. Heavy feeders, start with plenty of compost. Top up amendments every 2 weeks—seaweed and fish fertilizers work well. Crushed eggshells are an easy way to provide needed calcium to the soil. Water regularly. Enjoy!
