Sunpeach Tomato (F1 Hybrid 60 Days)

A sibling of the very popular ‘Sungold’ (#406), a little larger in size with a sweet but well-rounded balanced flavor. The 1/2 ounce fruits are a colorful reddish pink with a slightly oblong shape. Skins are crack-resistant without a chewy texture. Early and notably productive until the end of the season, which was early October this year when the frost finally took it. Vigorous vines are highly resistant to mosaic virus. A great choice for salsa. 

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: Plant 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.
