Tomato - Subarctic Plenty

OH. This tomato was sent to us by our friend, Jenny Freemantle, a Wairarapa seed saver. Originally, bred in Canada by Dr Harris, at Beaverlodge Research Farm, Alberta in 1940. Bred to perform well in a cold prairie climate, this tomato went on to be used by the US Military Base in Greenland to provide a reliable source of tomatoes. Grows well even in cold climates and sets fruit ready to harvest in just 50 days. Produces medium sized nicely flavoured red round fruit. Determinate and does not require staking.  

Sow in August into trays in a glasshouse. Keep soil temp at 18-20°C for ideal germination. Prick out when true leaves appear to 4cm diagonal spacing. Pot on to small pots to further develop roots. Transplant after last frost to 40cm diagonal spacing into fertile ground in direct sun. Stake and de-lateral as needed.

15 seeds.
