We are offering three Gardener’s Delight Tomato plug plants ready for potting on and growing on in frost free greenhouse or on sunny windowsill ready for planting out as soon as last frosts have passed

Gardener’s Delight as a Brix Value 7

The brix Value is the measurement used to determine how much sugar is in the fruit. The higher the value, then the higher the sugar content and sweeter fruit will be to taste.

'Bite-sized' fruits packed with rich, sweet flavour. Heavy crops borne on long trusses. Can be grown either as a bush or as a single stem. Greenhouse or outdoors harvest June-September.

Plant out in large pots, growing bags, or into a soil border at 45cm (18") apart in early June. Pinch out side shoots regularly and when in flower tap or shake plants daily to aid setting.

For growing in unheated greenhouses, Plant late April-early May. Harvest mid August-mid October.

OUTDOOR CULTURE: Harden off the plants before planting 45cm (18") apart in early June. Choose a warm, sheltered position.

Sowing temperature 65°f - 68°f constant.

Grow on at 60°f minimum.

Harvest mid August-mid October. Standard varieties: Support with stakes or canes. Pinch out the main growth when four good trusses have set. Bush varieties: These cease growing when 30-38cm (12-15") high. Do not remove side shoots. Support is not essential, but short stakes will help control the plants and keep fruit clean.

When plug plants arrive transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F).

When plants are well grown, transplant into baskets and containers. If the plant is suited for growing outdoors when all risk of frost has passed gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before positioning baskets outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun once all frost risk has passed. 

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.
Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
