A very attractive indeterminate plant with delicious tomatoes striped in red and golden yellow. This tomato variety grows in clusters of 5 to 6 fruits, each measuring 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Start your tomato seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow the seeds in a tray at a depth of 1/4" and spaced about 1" apart. Keep the room temperature at around 20°C (70°F) until germination. Also, ensure adequate light with a grow light or by placing them in front of a sunny window; keep the soil moist, but ensure proper drainage. When the second set of leaves appears, transplant the seedlings into individual pots and bury the stems as low as possible to encourage optimal rooting. Don't forget to acclimate your plants a week before putting them in the garden to harden them. Note that tomatoes do not tolerate cold and should not be placed in the garden until all risk of frost has passed. Plant them in full sun in rich, well-draining soil, and once again, bury your plants as low as possible to promote rooting.
Tomatoes often perform better when they have a trellis or support, as it protects them from pests and diseases associated with excessive ground contact. As the plants start to grow, tie them to the support to aid in their development. Temperatures below 12°C (55°F) can decrease production, so you may need to protect the plants if temperatures drop. Water the plants, but avoid wetting the leaves as much as possible to prevent yellowing. As soon as frost arrives, all tomatoes should be harvested, even the green ones. Unripe tomatoes will eventually ripen if kept in a warm place away from direct sunlight.
