These lovely, firm, heirloom tomatoes can be up to 227g (8oc) each in small clusters on a vine. The slightly pointed fruits are delicious, and perfect for salads and sandwiches because they're not too juicy. Indeterminate. 70-75 days, OP.

Smaller determinate varieties (bush) have a concentrated fruit set. Indeterminate types (vines) need to be staked or trellised.
Timing: Sow indoors 5-6 weeks before transplanting out. Only move outdoors once night time temperatures are reliably above 10°C (50°F).
Seeding: Sow seeds 1cm (1/2") deep in individual pots, using a sterile seed starter mix. Soil temperature should be at least 21°C (70°F). Bottom heat speeds germination. Pot up into larger pots as needed.
Growing: To reduce legginess, provide strong light close to the seedlings, and use a fan to provide air circulation. Mix one cup of balanced organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant. Protect plants from rain and overhead watering to prevent disease.
Seed Specs: Canada No. 1 germination standard: 75%. Usual seed life: 3 years.
