TOMATO
Island Bay Italian
NZ Heritage (Lycopersicon lycopersicum)
Description: Indeterminate. An outstanding, large, even
sized, very red tomato with very full flavour. Great for both
eating and processing. Very healthy bushes. Kay grows
this one in her home garden! The Italian boat builders and
fishermen of Island Bay brought this seed line to NZ.
Sowing: Plant into trays late September and prick out
when first leaves appear at 3cm diagonal spacings. Handle
touching the leaves only. When leaves touch, transplant into
40cm deep pots or trays to 10cm diagonal spacings. When
40-15cm high transplant into garden 50cm spacings in rows.
Two rows per 1m wide bed. Needs staking.
Organically grown in NZ, especially for home
gardens, taste, nutrition and disease resistance.
From our Past, for our Future.
