Large, round, vibrant, pure-red 280–350g fruits entice with heirloom aromatics and tangy tomato sweetness. Ripening from late July, the large fruits are produced in clusters of three to four per truss. ‘Burlesque’ tomatoes are easy to pick and show no cracking.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow March-April for greenhouse growing (or April for outdoor growing) in a propagator on a windowsill, pots or trays in a greenhouse at 18-21°C (65-70°F) using a good quality compost. Cover seeds with 6mm compost until germination which can take 7-14 days.GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant into larger pots, direct into a greenhouse border or outdoors 45cm (18in) apart once the risk of frost has passed.Support with a cane and remove side shoots regularly. Feed regularly with tomato food -
With good resistance to late blight, these vigorous, semi-determinate plants can easily produce over 200 red ‘grape’ tomatoes that boast a BRIX sweetness rating of 9.6 which is unusual for outdoor-grown tomatoes. Plants will need support, a wire cage framework for air movement and to keep fruit off the soil.Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and keep at 20-25?C (68-77?F) until after germination which takes 10-14 days.Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant outdoors once all risk of frost is passed 1.2m (4ft) apart. Plants have a spreading habit and may require trimming to keep tidy. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set. -
Bred with outdoor growing in mind. This early cropping variety begins producing fruit before the worst risk of blight arrives. The small cherry fruits have glossy, red skins and a sweet, juicy flesh with a superb flavour.Sow seeds on the surface of a good, freedraining, damp, seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at 15-20?C (59-68?F) until after germination which takes 7-14 days.When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3in) pots of compost and grow on at 15°C (59°F). Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June. Transplant at a distance of 60cm (24in) apart in a sheltered full sun position. Use a cane to support the plants as they grow. Water tomato plants frequently and feed regularly once the first truss of fruit has formed.Remove any sideshoots that develop between the main stem and the leaf stems. Once the plant has produced 6 trusses, pinch out the top of the main stem to focus on producing a good high quality crop. -
"Indeterminate habit requires support and sideshooting.Tomato Country Taste produces meaty, delicious fruits, which can easily attain weights over 227g (½lb) if trusses are trimmed (trim to allow 3 or 4 fruits to ripen per truss). Tomato Country Taste is early to set and ripen when grown under glass. Excellent tomato for exhibition and competitions - you could grow a record breaker!"Sow seeds 6mm (¼in) deep in pots or trays of good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) 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 2cm (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. -
This is the first blight resistant beefsteak variety specifically developed for growing outdoors. The glossy, pinky-red fruits are perfect for slicing into burgers, salads and sandwiches for a delicious taste of summer.Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator around 15-20?C (59-68?F) until after germination which takes 7-14 days.When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3in) pots of compost and grow on at 15°C (59°F). When growing in a greenhouse, transplant at the end of May or when the first flowers develop. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10in) pot, or plant directly into the greenhouse soil.When growing outdoors gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8in) tall. Transplant at a distance of 60cm (24in) apart in a sheltered full sun position. Use canes to support the plants as they grow. Water frequently and feed regularly. -
