(Stabtomate)

Kartoffelblättrige Tomate. Große Ernte von mittelgroßen, 75g schweren Früchten.

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 containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.

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.

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