Tomato – Moneymaker – 75 seeds – 15310

Description

For many, this is the gardeners’ standard choice as it’s a heavy cropper of fine tasty fruits approximately 60g(2oz).

Moneymaker is a well-known, reliable variety producing smooth fruits with excellent flavour throughout the summer. Suitable for the greenhouse or outdoors, in a sunny position. Indeterminate.

For greenhouse crops, sow indoors January-April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, 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 April to May to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Harvest: June-October. For outdoor crops, delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 45cm (18″) apart, when frosts are over. Harvest from August onwards.

Tip: Tomatoes growing in a greenhouse require plenty of ventilation and water. Feed regularly once trusses have set.
