Tomato seeds Ocher Veil 5 seeds

5 seeds in a bag is all we could save. As soon as they sort it out, it will come back next year. A new variety. Almost no one grows it here, but abroad collectors pass it from hand to hand and respond warmly: the harvest is there, the taste is there, and the appearance is such that you can’t pass it by. We sowed, looked at what grew, and took it into the assortment. There are several colors in it at once: ocher, green, and yellow, and on top of everything there are purple-brown stripes, as if someone had drawn a brush. There will be no two identical on the bush. The fruit is heart-shaped, 150-250 grams, bush 1.6-1.8 meters - the lowest of these new products, so it will fit into a low greenhouse. The taste is sweet, a little unusual - not like red tomatoes, more like green varieties. The middle is juicy and tender. It’s best in a salad, slice up, so you can see how beautiful it is when cut. The most important thing is to learn to see when it’s ripe. You can’t tell by the color: even greenish it looks ready. Touch it with your finger - the ripe one gives in a little. If you pick it early, it will be like grass, without taste. The period is average, 105–115 days. I keep it in one or two stems, the trellis is quite low. Plant 50 by 60 centimeters. How to grow. Sow seedlings 55–60 days before you plant them in the ground. For most of our regions this is the second half of March. Before sowing, seeds can be placed in warm water for half an hour - they will germinate more easily. Keep the seedlings in the light and do not water them: overwatering seedlings is worse than underwatering them. Plant them in the ground when the frost has definitely passed and the ground has warmed up. I put a handful of humus and a little ash in the hole. For the first ten days, do not touch the plant, let it take root, then begin to shape it. Break out the stepsons once a week while they are small - this makes it easier for the plant. Tie it as it grows, do not wait for the stem to fall. Water less often, but well, at the root, and not along the leaves - water causes diseases on the leaves. Mulch the ground under the bush with straw or grass: it retains moisture, the fruits are cleaner, and you don’t have to run around watering it every day. Feed it two or three times a season. The first time two weeks after planting, then - when the first brush is tied. Just don’t overfeed with nitrogen, otherwise it will go to the leaf and there won’t be enough tomatoes. Storage. Keep the bag in a dark, dry place at normal room temperature - away from the stove and away from moisture. The seeds remain viable for three years, so if you don’t sow everything this season, they will sprout the same way next season.
