(Cordon)

The winner of an Australian taste test, beating 100 other varieties for flavour. Tomato Tommy Toe produces a prolific crop of delicious red-pink tomatoes that reach the size of an apricot, over a long cropping season.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Sow seeds 6mm (¼in) deep 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

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle 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 frost risk has passed.

Aftercare

Plants require side shooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
