Tomato Seedling - Petula (improved beefsteak)
$4.50 / each
Improved beefsteak tomato. Great disease resistance and lasts into the autumn if well looked after.
Needs staking and lateraling.
Plant before Labour Weekend for a summer harvest.
We grow this variety to sell as tomatoes.
Tips to growing tomatoes:
Plant deep to the second set of leaves.
Make sure the plant doesn't dry out as the season shifts into summer. Use a liquid fertiliser once a week. Increase to 3 times a week from December/January.
Regularly spray with neem oil to help with white fly. And a seaweed spray to help with bacteria.
Marigolds and basil are great companion plants. They help keep bugs off the tomato plant.
Remove older yellowing leaves using a sterilised knife.
No plastic packaging. We use and reuse the pots as a growing medium. We remove the pot before packing.
