Growing guide & FAQs
Growing guide for Pakistan
- Sowing time: Punjab plains (Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan) mid-September to late October in nursery trays for the main winter crop, and again late January to February under cover for a spring crop. Karachi and coastal Sindh October to November. Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar February to March. Murree, Swat, Abbottabad and Quetta March to April.
- Method: Sow in trays, 5 mm deep, in a light seed mix. Do not direct-sow — tomatoes transplant better than almost anything else.
- Germination: 5–10 days at 21–27°C. Keep the tray warm, not wet.
- Transplanting: At 4–5 true leaves, 45–60 cm apart. Bury the stem deep — the buried section grows extra roots and the plant stands up to Punjab wind far better.
- Sun and water: Full sun, at least six hours. Water at the base, never over the leaves, and water evenly — swinging between dry and flooded is what splits fruit and causes blossom end rot.
- Harvest: about 70 days from transplant. Pick at first blush and finish indoors if birds are a problem.
- Start here: If you have never grown tomatoes, grow this one alongside an heirloom. It will forgive mistakes the heirloom will not.
- Support: Indeterminate — stake it.
Frequently asked questions
Will this grow in a pot?
Yes. Use a pot of at least 12 inches (30 cm) with drainage holes, one plant per pot, in full sun. A balcony in Lahore or a rooftop in Karachi works well.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Enough for a home garden bed or a run of pots. Sow a few more than you need and keep the strongest seedlings.
Is the seed non-GMO?
