Tomato Matina | Lycopersicon esculentum | ||

|
Description
|
|||
| The ealiest non hybrid we do. The potato leaves give this plant a natural resistance to desease, and the medium sized fruits form in bunches throughout the season. Great taste for all uses. | ||||
|
Culture
|
||||
| Plant out as soon as all risk of frost has passed, as deep as the stem length will allow to promote additional sideways root growth and keep the root ball as near to constant moisture as possible. Water regularly. Steaking is advisable - can rise to 1.5m and be very heavy when laden with fruits. Prick out the side shoots and top after the fourth or fifth truss to promote the earliest ripening. Feed regularly with organic tomato feed. No real illness problems. | ||||
