tomato 'Golden Sunrise'
tomato
- Position: full sun
- Soil: humus-rich, moisture retentive soil
A tomato the colour of sunshine that will make you smile every time you see it. The medium-sized fruits are generously produced on long trusses and have a rich, sweet and juicy flavour – said to be one of the best around. They ripen to a brilliant deep yellow, making a fabulous splash of colour sliced into salads. - Growing Instructions:Sow in a frost-free greenhouse or windowsill, potting on seedlings individually as they grow. Once all danger of frost has passed, plant into greenhouse borders or into growbags, or harden plants off and plant outside in rich soil in a sunny spot. Tie in to supports and pinch out side shoots: keep well-watered and feed weekly once flowers form. To ripen green fruits at the end of the season, cut plants away from supports, lay them on black polythene flat on the ground, and cover with a cloche to double the warmth.

- Harvest:August-September
