Tomato Plum Principe Borghese

Try something different with this classic Italian 'sun-dried' variety produces delightful egg-shaped tomatoes that grow in generous trusses. Traditionally the whole plant is harvested and hang in a sunny, airy position until fruits become leathery to touch. It is a determinate, bushy habit which requires no support and it grows well outdoor in a sheltered location.

Sow the seeds indoors on a warm kitchen windowsill or a greenhouse. Sow the seeds in a pot around 0.5cm deep and cover with a thin layer of compost. Keep the pot well-watered and warm. An ideal temperature of 15 – 20C is perfect. The seedlings will start to appear after 7 – 15 days. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant them into individual pots. Keep them growing on in cooler but not cold conditions. If the plants get too cold they will stop growing and struggle to get going again.
