Tomato Mix 2
SKU
349RV9C
One pot of each of the below.
Alicante
Similar to Moneymaker, Alicante is a slightly earlier maturing variety producing medium, uniform sized fleshy fruits with a good flavour.
Moneymaker
Moneymaker has been around for years and is still as popular now. With great yields of uniform medium red fruits with great flavour, a really reliable variety to grow.
Gardeners Delight
This is an old variety but still just as popular now as it was then. A heavy cropping variety producing long trusses heavily filled of small sized fruits with a sweet and tangy flavour.
Growing Instructions
Plant 45cm apart in well drained soil/large pot/grobag in your greenhouse. If you don't have a greenhouse, you can grow on in a conservatory/window until all frosts have passed then slowly acclimatise them to the outdoors over 4-6 days and find the sunniest/warmest position you have in your garden. Keep the young plants well watered until established and in dry weather. As they grow they will need support, we do this by using string attached round the grow bag stretching up 6 feet high, tied to a string stretching the opposite direction, using one string per plant, train each plant clockwise round the string. Pinching out the side shoots as they grow up. Once it reaches the top of your string, hang it over and let the tomato plant grow back down, still picking the side shoots out. Feed only once you see 3-4 tomatoes starting to swell NOT BEFORE (this is because the plant will not want to reproduce if its being fed and watered nicely). Remove any rotting/dead leaves as the plant grows. The 2nd week in August pinch the growing tip out, this will encourage the top fruits to increase in size and set before the end of the season. WHAT ARE SIDE SHOOTS? The main growing stem of the tomato has branches coming out of it, at the start/base of that branch you may have what looks like a mini tomato starting to grow, this is a side shoot, the picture above shows exactly what to pinch out.
