Solanum Lycopersicum 'Thessaloniki'

 

Tomato 'Thessaloniki'

Tomato 'Thessaloniki' is a Greek variety with meaty, good-flavoured flesh. The 4-6 oz. red fruits are resistant to splitting and spots, and last a long time on the vine when ripe.They will grow up to 1.8m when supported on a stake, yellow flowers are held on trusses and produce up to 10 fruits. Side shoots need to be pinched out at leaf joints and careful watering is a must to stop fruit splitting and for flavour. Keep water off the foliage as blight can be a problem.

Propagation by seed

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Grow from seed in early spring in heat, one seed per tray division, or pot. Fill 9cm (3½in) pot with seed or multipurpose compost.Level and firm the compost, then water. Sow seeds on the compost surface, spacing them evenly, about 1/2" apart, (to help prevent "damping off" disease). Cover the seed with a layer of vermiculite, or sifted soil or compost. Keep at approximately 21°C (70°F), ideally in a heated propagator, When seedlings are big enough to handle, plant out in to a greenhouse - at least 16" apart - or, although less satisfactory, to a sunny windowsill

 

Planting

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Plant tomato plants grown from seed into the greenhouse border, when they are big enough to handle, and when risk of frost has passed. For outdoor varieties, young tender plants need to be hardened off, gradually, first in a cold-frame, and then in the open, before planting into their permanent position.
