Juliet Tomato (F1 Hybrid 60 Days)

We’ve had multiple requests for this AAS winner. Plants continue to look healthy through September with intermediate resistance to both early and late blight. Grape-like clusters of up to a dozen, mini plum type fruits with the ability to stay on the vine longer than most.  The Juliet Tomato is wonderful for eating fresh.  They are also meaty enough for sauces and canning or try drying them as well. Grow in the garden or greenhouse. Indeterminate. Intermediate resistance to Early and Late blight.

Solanum lycopersicum

Indeterminate

Germination: 7-14 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Starting Indoors: 6 weeks before the last frost. Provide 75-80ºF soil temperatures. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot, thin to the strongest seedling, or use the 20 Row seedling flat, transplanting into individual pots when seedlings get their 3rd set of leaves. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. Transplant out after the last frost. Space 24-36" apart

Sowing Outdoors: Only in areas with very long growing seasons. Sow after the last frost. 

Harvest: When fruit is red (or color of the variety planted) and firm.

Tips:  The Juliet Tomato should be planted in fertile soil, amended with compost, mulch, and provide even moisture. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers as it makes a stronger roots system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
