A true patio tomato! Each plant bears clusters of 5 ounce deep red beefsteak fruit in a container right on your deck or patio. The sturdy plant has excellent disease resistance and the rich tomato taste of a traditional slicer.
SOWINGStart seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost date. Cover seeds withinch of seed starting mix. Keep evenly moist and supply bottom heat to hasten germination (70 to 75 degrees). When plants emerge, supply 10-14 hours of light from direct sun or grow-lights.
THINOr transplant when plants are 3 inches tall into individual pots or spaced 3 inches apart in a tray. After danger of frost is past, transplant each plant into a large well drained pot (15 inches in diameter or larger) or directly into the garden.
GERMINATION6-12 days depending on soil temperature and moisture conditions.
REMARKSThis is a vigorous determinate plant that will benefit from support from a cage. Water and fertilize regularly and do not prune the suckers. Plants will continue to produce fruit right up until frost.
