SOW                January to March

HARVEST       July onwards

TYPE                Salad Vegetable

PLOT               Outdoor Plot

WHERE TO SOW:

Space the seeds 2cm apart in trays or two to a cell in modules under glass at 20-21°C. Cover lightly with compost, and cover with glass to retain humidity.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Remove glass as soon as seedlings appear. Prick off tray seedlings, as soon as the leaves have formed, into 9cm pots. Thin module seedlings to one per cell. Harden off plants for outdoor planting. When first truss of flowers appears, transplant to growing site spacing 45-60cm apart.

HANDY TIP:  Pick as soon as fruit is ripe to encourage more to develop. Feed with a tomato fertilizer as soon as first trusses appear. As the plants are a bush habit they do not require staking, but it is best to surround the plant with straw or polythene to keep fruit clean.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES:  Packed with antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin C and lycopene.
