WEST COAST SEEDS TOMATOES RED ZEBRA

  • Fire engine red fruits overlaid with golden yellow stripes. Fine, slightly acidic flavour, not unlike Green Zebra.
  • Start the seeds late season variety early and grow with protection from the rain.
  • This is the perfect choice for small greenhouses, but they will mature outdoors as well.
  • By keeping the foliage dry you can delay or completely prevent the onset of Late Blight.
  • Red Zebra tomatoes are plump, sweet, and eye-catching for the market table.
  • Indeterminate (vine)
  • Matures in 93 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.
