SEEDS

A superb, early-ripening beefsteak producing oxheart fruits with a tapering point. Plants are highly productive over a long harvesting period. Fruits are large and fleshy with very few seeds. The juice holds in the flesh making these tomatoes perfect for slicing in sandwiches - no more soggy bread!Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator, or seal inside a poythene bag at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which takes 10-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3in) pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15°C (59°F).GROWING ON UNDER GLASS: When growing in a heated greenhouse, tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or earlier if the first flowers are showing. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10in) pot, or plant directly into the greenhouse soil. GROWING ON OUTDOORS: When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24in) apart. Plants require sideshooting and support. Water and feed regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

An outstanding, cascading, bush variety that has shown exceptional tolerance to the devastating late blight fungus in trials over the past years. Sweet, cherry-sized, round fruits are produced in abundance from baskets or containers on the patio.For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to March.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).
When growing in a heated glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. 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. Bush tomatoes do not require staking or sideshooting.Water tomato plants frequently, to keep the compost evenly moist. Feed tomatoes regularly with a high potash plant food once the first truss of fruit has formed. Bush tomatoes do not require staking or sideshooting.

British breeding. Probably the best basket variety ripening up to 2 weeks earlier than well known ‘Tumbler’. One plant in a 30cm (12in) basket will fruit all around the plant, masses of 20g, round, red sweet fruits.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow seed on the surface of a good free-draining damp seed compost, and cover with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which usually takes 10-14 days.Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on 15°C (59°F), in well lit conditions.FOR HANGING BASKET & PATIO CONTAINERS: Plant one per 30cm (12in) container. Water well and keep in a cool position until well rooted. Gradually acclimatise plants before placing outside after all risk of frost. Feed regularly with tomato feed and keep well watered. No stopping/sideshooting required

A super sweet juicy cherry tomato, producing 15g fruits with amazing taste - the very best flavour of all the blight resistant varieties. Heavy cropping plants are smothered in hanging trusses through the season, each producing up to 12 orangey-red fruits per truss. If blight has caused problems with your crops in the past, Rubylicious is the cherry tomato for you.Sow seed on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-21°C (65-70°F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days.Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed. Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
