Tomato St Pierre – 100 Seeds

This is a full flavoured French heirloom variety Large and fleshy, traditional market-place variety. Indeterminate (needs support), outdoors or greenhouse

For greenhouse crops sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep, thinly in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20C (60-68F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days.

Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out April to May, to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Provide support, pinch out side shoots regularly and pinch out growing tip after 5-6 trusses have set. Tomatoes growing in a greenhouse require plenty of ventilation and water, feed regularly once trusses have set.
