ðą Sowing information
Sow seeds indoors in a warm, bright location. Sow 2-3 seeds per small pot, about 0.5 cm deep, in a good seed compost. Thin to the strongest seedling after germination. An early start is key for a long, productive harvest.â
âïļ Light exposure
Requires a full sun position,the sunniest and most sheltered spot possible is essential for ripening these sweet fruits in the Irish climate. A south facing wall or patio offers ideal conditions.â
ð§ Water needs
Water seedlings regularly. Once established, water deeply and consistently to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Consistent moisture is crucial for preventing blossom end rot.â
ðĄïļ Germination temperature & time
Seeds need warmth, ideally 18â24°C, for reliable germination. Seedlings typically emerge in 7â14 days under these conditions. A heated propagator is highly recommended for early sowings.â
ð Plant spacing & final size
Space plants 50â60 cm apart in the ground or in large containers (minimum 25L). As a vigorous indeterminate vine, it requires sturdy staking or a tall tomato cage for support.â
ðž Harvesting notes
Harvest fruits when they are fully coloured and yield slightly to gentle pressure. The flavour is sweetest when allowed to fully ripen on the vine. Regular picking encourages more fruit production.â
