DESCRIPTION - A great variety of sweet tomato with the added bonus of have a great resistance to cracking also early and late blight! Producing high yields of medium sized tomatoes which can be eaten off the vine or picked and used in sandwiches, it really is a great all rounder...........................GROWING INSTRUCTIONS - Plant 45cm apart in well drained soil/large pot/grobag in your greenhouse. If you don't have a greenhouse, you can grow on in a conservatory/window until all frosts have passed then slowly acclimatise them to the outdoors over 4-6 days and find the sunniest/warmest position you have in your garden. Keep the young plants well watered until established and in dry weather. As they grow they will need support, we do this by using string attached round the grow bag stretching up 6 feet high, tied to a string stretching the opposite direction, using one string per plant, train each plant clockwise round the string. Pinching out the side shoots as they grow up. Once it reaches the top of your string, hang it over and let the tomato plant grow back down, still picking the side shoots out. Feed only once you see 3-4 tomatoes starting to swell NOT BEFORE (this is because the plant will not want to reproduce if its being fed and watered nicely). Remove any rotting/dead leaves as the plant grows. The 2nd week in August pinch the growing tip out, this will encourage the top fruits to increase in size and set before the end of the season.....................HARVEST - Roughly 8 weeks after planting. Once the tomatoes are red and swollen.
