TOMATOES INCLUDED IN THIS COLLECTION

1. Triple L crop aka Italian Tree Tomato - huge red beefsteak tomatoes. This plant really does look like a tree. It grows long vines which easily get to 20 feet and is very productive.

2. Japanese Trifele - Considered a black tomato. Flavor is smoky and earthy. This is the most productive pear tomato variety I have ever grown. Loads of pear shaped, plum sized tomatoes.

3. Virginia Sweets - The flavor of this bi-colored beefsteak tomato is scrumptious, savory and sweet. Very productive for being a beefsteak variety. Also has very unique coloration. The outside skin is a golden yellow/orange with some red streaks. When you slice into it, you will notice the bi-coloration of orange flesh with red streaks. Very pretty on a plate.

4. Paros Fluted - Greek heirloom tomato. Gorgeous pumpkin like fluted edges. Great tomato for sauce making and has a very high tolerance to dry conditions.

5. Principe Borghese - Cherry sized tomatoes. very productive plant. Best used for drying, roasting, and cooking. The flavor intensifies well when used in cooked/drying applications. This is a famous variety used in Italy for making sun dried tomatoes.

6. Barry's Crazy Cherry - This is a multi flora, light yellow cherry tomato. Multi flora varieties produce tons of flowers, so get ready to harvest a lot of tomatoes. Flavor is sweet and fruity. One of my favorites because of just how much it produces and the color makes for a nice contrast in salads.


Follow me on social media because I share lots of information on growing this tomato variety and other gardening tips. IG, YT, and TikTok: jerrasgarden.

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use.

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant.

PLANTING

Solanum lycopersicum

Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest.
