Advice from our agronomist
When to sow. Sow seeds from late March to early April 0.5–1 cm deep in light peat-based compost; germination needs 22–25 °C.
Planting. Prick out seedlings at the 2–3 true-leaf stage into individual pots. Plant into the greenhouse in mid-May, outdoors only in early June after the last frosts, 40–50 cm apart.
Care. This tall variety needs staking and regular removal of side shoots – train it to one or two stems. Water regularly with warm water, avoiding wet leaves.
Large fruits. Leave 3–4 fruits per truss so they grow large, and water evenly to prevent cracking. A calcium feed helps to avoid blossom-end rot.
Feeding and harvest. Feed every 10–14 days with tomato fertiliser, potassium-rich during flowering. Pick ripe fruit regularly to encourage new ones to ripen.
