Johnsons Tomato Costoluto Genovese 75 Seeds

Tomato Costoluto Genovese

The Costoluto Genovese tomato plant yields large, irregularly shaped, ribbed, and beefsteak fruits. It can be grown outdoors in a sunny, sheltered spot or in a cool greenhouse or tunnel. This variety is semi-determinate, so providing support may be necessary.

Sow the seeds indoors on a warm kitchen windowsill or a greenhouse. Sow the seeds in a pot around 0.5cm deep and cover with a thin layer of compost. Keep the pot well-watered and warm. An ideal temperature of 15 20C is perfect. The seedlings will start to appear after 7 15 days. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant them into individual pots. Keep them growing on in cooler but not cold conditions. If the plants get too cold they will stop growing and struggle to get going again.
