Heritage tomatoes: Thompson and Morgan over the past 100 years have found several tomatoes from their own trials and through travelling around the world seeing and tasting varieties both old and new. We have put together a range of good old fashioned tomatoes from those forgotten years that we consider have stood the test of time. All are unusual in colour and shape having a wonderful flavour of how tomatoes used to be, making a welcome addition to any kitchen garden.

Sowing Instructions

For greenhouse culture sow late winter to early spring 1.5mm (1/16in) deep. Germination usually takes 6-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).

Outside, sow early spring and grow as detailed.

Growing Instructions

For greenhouse, transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and later plant out into grow bags, pots etc. 45-60cm (18-24in) apart. Outside, when 20cm (8in) tall gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out 38-45cm (15-18in) apart, 75cm (30in) between rows, in a warm, sheltered, sunny spot in moist, fertile, well drained soil.

Aftercare Instructions

Keep well staked. Remove side shoots as they appear and restrict the plant to one main stem. Outdoor plants remove growing tip late summer to hasten ripening.
