Tomato - Shirley F1 Hybrid

This is a popular, early maturing, heavy cropping cordon (indeterminate) variety for cold or slightly heated greenhouses with excellent quality fruit. Tomato Shirley is recommended for growbag culture with an open growing habit and resistance to TMV, Cladosporium ABC and Fusarium 1 and 2. It is an exhibitors' favourite.

Sow seeds in late winter for heated greenhouse cultivation or early spring for the cold greenhouse. Sow 6mm deep in a good compost. Germination usually take 6-14 days at 24C. Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 8cm pots and grow on in good light and cooler conditions. When 15-23cm tall plant out 45cm apart in a prepared greenhouse border soil, growbag or 23cm pots. Feed regularly once the first truss has set.
