Organic 'Esterina' F1 Tomato Seeds (Solanum lycopersicum). It is a vigorous hybrid that produces abundant clusters of sweet, crack-resistant golden-yellow cherry tomatoes. It reaches 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft), with a spread of 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 in). It also displays small, round, golden-yellow fruit borne in abundant clusters. It performs best in full sun and fertile, loose, moist, well-drained soil. For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.
Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow 6 mm (1/4 in) deep and maintain 21 to 29 °C (70 to 84 °F); germination usually takes 5 to 10 days. Space plants 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) apart. Water at the base when the soil surface begins to dry. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds. Starting tomato seeds with steady warmth supports even emergence; move each tomato seedling into bright light promptly.
Harvest from summer until the first frost, once the fruit reaches its mature colour. Edible parts include ripe fruit. This harvest is well suited to snacking, salads and garnishes. It can be grown in a container of at least 20 L (5 US gal), with support and good drainage; check moisture more often than for in-ground plants.
