About this plant
Every variety on this bench has ripened reliably in an Oro-Medonte field, which rules out a lot of the beautiful things in the seed catalogues. Our season is short and our nights are cold.
Brandywine, Black Krim, Green Zebra, Amish Paste and ten others. Labelled by days-to-maturity so you can work out whether it will finish before frost — anything over 85 days is a gamble here unless you have a tunnel.
Available from the second week of May. Do not put them out before the 24th; we say this every year and every year somebody loses a flat to a late frost.
Looking after it
- Planting out
- After May 24 in this area, not before
- Depth
- Bury two-thirds of the stem — it roots along it
- Water
- Deeply twice a week, at the base, never the leaves
- Support
- Stake or cage at planting, not later
Plant it with
Two plants will feed a household. Three will make you unpopular with your neighbours.
