Tomato Tiny Tom - seed
Lycopersicon esculentum 'Tiny Tom' tomato - seed -
DESCRIPTION: Sweet bite-size red-skinned fruit on a bush tomato plant.
PLANTING: Spring-Summer in cooler climates, Autumn-Spring in tropical locations at 20-28C. Sow seeds directly into their final position or seed trays. Prepare soil for final planting with well composted manure. Transplant when seedlings are easily handled, 10-15cm. A full sun location in free draining soil is ideal. For smaller gardens grow bags or large containers are perfect, place on a sunny balcony to enjoy a bumper crop.
USE IN: Tiny Tom tomatoes are ideal in salads or gently roasted with a splash of olive oil & garlic, add some freshly torn basil leaves to top this super side dish off.
CARE: Water seedlings daily until established and follow up with regular water especially during dry periods. Pinch out lower water shoots and keep two main stems. Mulch plants and apply liquid fertiliser regularly for best results. Protect plants from frost. If insects are a ever a problem use an organic insecticide like eco-oil , it's perfectly safe to use on veggies! For the more adventurous home gardeners try companion planting with marigolds or chives, the natural oils help to deter unwanted visitors..
