Tomato, Small Mexican
Solanum lycopersicum
Enjoy the real tomato experience! Tomatoes originally hail from Mexico and Central America. Enjoy this little fruit directly from the bush or prepare a cold, spicy sauce seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and fresh cilantro leaves. This is a very fast growing plant with healthy foliage.
Growing instructions
Sow in early March into seedling trays in a warm place. Transfer to pots when about 5 cm high. Transplant into the field from May 20 at a distance of 80 ✕ 80 cm. Tie up to stakes or trellis strings. Also break some side branches to promote full fruiting. Protection from rain is recommended. Tip for mixed culture: Basil and parsley intercrop beautifully.
