THE tomato.
By alec davis 21-11-2010
Having tried many other varieties over the years I keep returning to these old favourites. There really is no need for any other tomato if flavour is what you require. Next year I will ONLY grow GD - everything else has disappointed.

Sowing Instructions

For greenhouse culture sow seeds late winter to early spring 1.5mm (1/16in) deep. Germination usually takes 6-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).

To grow outside, sow seeds in early spring and grow as above.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and plant out into growbags, pots etc when large enough at 45cm (18in) apart. When approx. 20cm (8in) tall gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions and plant out 45cm (18in) apart with 75cm (30in) between rows in a warm sheltered sunny spot in moist, fertile well drained soil and keep well watered.

Aftercare

Provide support and tie in regularly. Remove side shoots as they appear and restrict the plant to one main stem. Outdoor plants remove growing tip in late summer to hasten
