Tomato : Harlequin F1 Hybrid
Vegetable
Description
Cordon. Long trusses of sweet and juicy, rich red, slightly larger, plum shaped fruits with an eye-catching upturned calyx, resembling a jester's hat. Ideal for the greenhouse or outdoors in a sunny, sheltered site.
Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds in pots or trays of good, free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator, or seal container in a polythene bag, at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors 45cm (18in) apart once all risk of frost has passed.
Aftercare Instructions
lants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Kitchen Notes
Makes an attractive addition to salads.
