Growing Instructions
When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3 inch) pots of compost and maintain a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). Pot on later into 10cm (4 inch) pots for stronger plants for planting out. Plant out end of May, or earlier if in a heated glasshouse, or when first flowers are showing. Allow 3 plants per growbag, 25cm (10 inch) pots or plant into the greenhouse soil. Outdoors plant out from early June after hardening off and once frost risk has passed.
Aftercare Instructions
Plants will require support. Feed with tomato fertiliser once first fruits setting. Harvest late July to October.
