The fruits (50 to 100 g) are covered in down, giving them the appearance of a peach, and the flesh is dense and sweet. Excellent in salads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e When and how to sow Peach tomatoes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSowing: from February to April in a warm bed (20°) or in pots indoors or in a heated greenhouse, in fine seed compost. Tomatoes need a constant minimum temperature of 20°C to germinate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBury your tomato seeds 1 cm deep and then cover with seed compost. Water your compost with a sprayer to keep it moist but not soggy. Place your seed tray near a window to prevent your seedlings from shooting upwards in search of light.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTransplant when frost is no longer a risk and the plants are 12 to 15 cm tall in rich, loose, healthy soil.

To the question \"what to do?\" the answer is simple: whatever you want!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePruning tomatoes by de-suckering is not mandatory; it is intended to increase the size of the fruits, their precocity and to facilitate harvesting work.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis method, however, has two drawbacks: it requires time and discernment. Indeed, the head of the tomato plant is not always easy to distinguish from a secondary branch. Furthermore, removing suckers causes wounds for your plant. It is therefore strongly recommended to consider aiding healing with a dusting of maerl or a green clay wash.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAnother option is to not prune at all and allow the plant to fully develop. It will therefore need more space in the garden, i.e. 1 m between each plant. The fruits will be smaller but more numerous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA third solution is two-pronged training. After pinching the plant 20 cm from the ground, only the two lateral shoots are kept. All the suckers are then removed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eYou can harvest tomatoes 4 to 5 months after sowing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The enemies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main problems that can be encountered when growing tomatoes are late blight and blossom end necrosis (black bottom).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTo prevent mildew, the best solution is to protect your plants if you live in a region where it rains frequently. You can also treat your plants with Bordeaux mixture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBlossom end necrosis, or black bottom, is not a disease. It's caused either by low calcium levels in the soil or by irregular watering. When a plant lacks water, it produces less sap, and the part furthest from the stem will die due to lack of nutrients. Therefore, water regularly, thoroughly once a week, for example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ENSACHAGE FDSM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65511271498077,"sku":"9409A","price":3.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/9193\/8129\/files\/Tomatepeche.jpg?v=1788442347","url":"https:\/\/www.fermedesaintemarthe.live\/en\/products\/tomate-peche-ab-antigaspi","provider":"La Ferme de Sainte Marthe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
