How to Grow Tomato Veranda Red F1 from Seed

Growing Tomato Veranda Red F1 from seed is a rewarding way to enjoy fresh, homegrown tomatoes. These compact, bushy tomato plants produce an abundance of juicy, red fruit that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and more.

To sow your tomato seeds, fill small pots or seed trays with seed compost that is rich in nutrients and well-draining. Plant the seeds about 1cm deep and water well. Keep the compost moist, but not waterlogged, and place the pots or trays in a warm, sunny location.

Sowing Your Seeds

Your tomato seeds should germinate within 7-14 days. Once the seedlings have grown to about 10cm tall and have a few true leaves, transplant them into larger pots.

Planting Outdoors

Once the risk of frost has passed and the outdoor temperature has warmed up, move your tomato plants outdoors. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and space your plants about 60cm apart.

To help your tomato plants thrive, add a layer of compost or well-rotted manure to the soil before planting. Water regularly, but avoid over-watering to prevent fungal diseases. Mulch the soil around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting Your Tomatoes

Your plants should begin to produce fruit within 8-10 weeks of planting. The tomatoes will ripen gradually over the course of a few weeks, so check your plants regularly and pick the fruit as soon as it is ripe. To tell if a tomato is ripe, look for a deep red color and give it a gentle squeeze. If it is soft but not squishy, it is ready to be picked. Cut the tomato from the vine with a sharp knife, leaving a small portion of the stem attached.

Once picked, enjoy your tomatoes fresh or use them in your favorite recipes. They are a delicious and versatile addition to any garden.
