Mr Fothergill's TOMATO Shimmer F1

Small, almond-shaped fruit, marked with bronze-gold. A good source of vitamin C and antioxidants. Indeterminate (needs support), outdoors or greenhouse.

Sow indoors a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (¼”) deep, thinly in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20˚C (60-68˚F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm (4-6”) tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Provide support, pinch out side shoots regularly and pinch out growing tip after six trusses have set.

Tomatoes growing in a greenhouse require plenty of ventilation and water, feed regularly once trusses have set.
