- Sow the seeds on moist soil and lightly cover.
- Gently compress the soil and place it in a bright location.
- These are best in a heated propagator, at a constant temperature of 20-24c.
- Water as necessary and the seeds should germinate between 7-14 days.
- Once true leaves have developed, transplant the seedlings into individual pots
- Plant out in a greenhouse or outside (once all danger of frost has passed) with 50cm between plants
- As an indeterminate variety the stem will require training and support (stake, trellis or string)
- Water regularly and feed weekly with our all-purpose plant feed.
What’s the difference between “indeterminate” and “determinate” tomatoes?
Determinate tomatoes, or “bush” tomatoes, are varieties that grow to a compact height (generally 3 – 4′). Determinates stop growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the tomatoes from the plant ripen at approximately the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks). They require a limited amount of staking for support and are perfectly suited for container planting.
Indeterminate tomatoes will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost. They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal.  Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.
