Tomato Shirley F1 | Standard Tomato

An early maturing tomato famed for its heavy crops of excellent quality fruit. 'Shirley' also shows excellent disease resistance and is best grown in grow bags as a greenhouse cordon or cane-supported in large pots due to its upright, open habit. Produces heavy trusses of medium-sized red tomatoes from June to September. Growing Instructions: Sow in a frost-free greenhouse or windowsill, potting on seedlings individually as they grow. Once all danger of frost has passed, plant into greenhouse borders or into growbags, or harden plants off and plant outside in rich soil in a sunny spot. Tie in to supports and pinch out side shoots: keep well-watered and feed weekly once flowers form. Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit. Increase water in hot spells and reduce in cool weather to keep the soil constantly damp. Sow: January to March Harvest: June to September
