Sowing Instructions:
-
Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
-
Temperature: Optimal germination occurs at temperatures between 20-25°C (68-77°F).
-
-
For heated greenhouses, transplant in mid-February.
-
In cool greenhouses, transplant in mid-spring.
-
Outdoors, transplant early June after the threat of frost has passed.
-
Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days.
-
Potting: When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F).
-
Growing On: Continue to grow in greenhouses, pots, or grow bags, feeding after the first truss has set. Pinch out side shoots on indeterminate plants (cordon) to encourage fruit production.
Growing Tips:
-
As an indeterminate variety, Santa Victoria F1 will require support. Use stakes, cages, or trellises to help manage its growth and keep the fruit off the ground.
-
Regularly prune suckers to encourage better airflow and direct the plant’s energy toward fruit production.
-
Ensure that plants receive consistent watering, especially during dry spells, to promote healthy growth and improve flavour.
Culinary Uses: Tomato Nagina F1 is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Enjoy these tomatoes fresh in salads, sandwiches, or salsas. They also make excellent ingredients for sauces, soups, and stews, offering a rich flavour that enhances any dish.
When growing in a heated glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. Allow 3 plants per grow-bag, or one per 25cm (10") pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil.
When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting tomatoes. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8") tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed
Suitable for the Garden, vegetable garden, allotments, borders and containers.
Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
