Tomato Tommy Toe HEIRLOOM

(Lycopersicon esculentum)

The best tasting tomato of all, according to the Gourmet Taste Test in Victoria. Brilliant red fruit of about apricot size makes it ideal for salads or slicing. Disease resistant. Needs staking.

When to plant: Early Spring to early Summer.
How to grow: Sow 6mm (quarter-inch) deep in pots or trays of seed raising mix or compost. Transplant to 10-15cm (4-6in) pots in a warm, sunny spot. Transfer to final fruiting position when sturdy enough. Space plants 50cm (20in) apart, and support with stake. Water daily, and when first truss has set, feed regularly. Pinch out side shoots as they appear. Can be sown in final position - especially late crop.
