About this variety

These intensely flavourful, deep red tomatoes are well suited to sauces and canning. They have hardly any juice - which quickens the saucing. Not as good for fresh eating. Semi-determinate and quite productive.

Growing notes

Seed tomatoes ¼” deep 4-8 weeks before last frost. Seed densely and transplant to cells or pots after seedlings develop true leaves. Transplant 18”-24” apart when days are warm and there is no longer any risk of frost.

Too much rain. I did get one tomato but it had bottom blossom rot.
I do not blame any of this on the seeds.

Hi Nikki, I'm sorry this crop didn't work for you, and thank you for being fair to the seeds. Blossom end rot often follows uneven soil moisture, which a very wet summer makes hard to avoid. Mulching around the plants and giving them your sunniest spot helps.

They were great. I had so many tomatoes from these seeds. I have a small backyard garden which includes a 8x10 greenhouse. I probably grew 80 lbs of tomatoes which included 30 lbs of these tomatoes. People who tasted them said they were delicious. Used for salsa and tomatoe soup. Will definitely buy again.
