Description
Tomato 'Limoncito' F1 is an eye-catching cordon variety, producing sunshine-yellow fruits which will make a colourful addition to lunch boxes and salads. Plants produce trusses of bite-sized mini plum tomatoes with a delicious, sweet flavour. This variety can be grown in the greenhouse or conservatory, or in a sheltered, sunny spot outdoors.For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to April. For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April. Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10") pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil. When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting tomatoes. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8") tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 200cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 50cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Tomato 'Limoncito' F1 seed packet (approx. 5 seeds)Delivered with growing and care instructionsHarvest period – July to OctoberImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
