Balcony tomato "Vilma".
Tomato "Vilma" is a compact and bushy variety specifically bred for growing in containers. Each 50-60 cm tall plant produces a heavy crop of sweet and juicy, cherry-sized tomatoes each weighing 20 g over a long picking period.
Sowing Instructions: sow seeds March to April. Place seeds on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6 mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at +18+21 °C until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.
Growing Instructions: grow on at +15 °C. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7,5 cm pots. Plant in final position when plants are 10 cm high. For indoor crops plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in containers for the patio, or in sunny, fertile, moist, well-drained soil, after all risk of frost has passed.
Aftercare: feed plants weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set. It is not necessary to pinch out growth or sideshoot. Harvest fruits regularly to promote further flowers and to extend the picking season.
Did you know that... picking is the transplantation of seedlings in the phase of one or two true leaves from the seed box into special pots.
This technique is required when growing high-quality seedlings. Seedlings are chosen carefully, trying to damage the plants as little as possible, especially the root system.
However, pinching the tip of the central root is necessary. This promotes branching of the root system. Picking of seedlings is also carried out when transplanting peppers and cabbage.
