WEST COAST SEEDS TOMATO VINTAGE WINE
Vintage Wine looks like an heirloom tomato, but it's actually a relatively recent introduction from Europe. Tasty, gorgeous 1 lb. fruit are a unique pale pink, with beautiful distinctive golden stripes. Rich flavour and unusual beauty make this a new winner.

  • This is a late season, potato-leaf variety.
  • The tall vines are productive, but require that extra growing time for the fruit to ripen.
  • Start Vintage Wine tomato seeds early indoors and provide absolute protection from summer rains to avoid the blight. Otherwise grow in a greenhouse or beneath a wide awning to shelter from the rain.
  • Vine (indeterminate)
  • Matures in 84 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Growing Tomato Seeds

  • Start indoors in early spring over bottom heat. When seedlings germinate, remove from the heat and grow under bright lights.
  • Grow seedlings on for 6-8 weeks at around 10°C (50°F).
  • Early season tomatoes can be planted out once night time temperatures are reliably above 7°C (45°F) – or later. Other types should be transplanted out when night time lows are 10°C (50°F) or warmer – or later.
  • Optimal soil temperature for germination: 25-35°C (68-95°F). With bottom heat seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.

    Companion Planting For Tomatoes

  • A sensitive plant when it comes to companions, tomatoes benefit from asparagus, basil, beans, borage, carrots, celery, chives, collards, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, and peppers.
  • Avoid planting alongside Brassicas and dill. Corn will attract tomato pests, and kohlrabi will stunt tomatoes' growth. Potatoes may spread blight to tomatoes, so keep them apart. Do no plant tomatoes near walnut trees.

    Harvesting Tomatoes

  • Harvest when the fruit is the desired colour. Green tomatoes can be ripened indoors at a cool temperature when they are blemish free. Very dark green tomatoes are unlikely to ripen fully.
