Seed - Tomato Oxheart

Tomato Oxheart is another old favourite! This large, fleshy tomato matures mid-season with consistent smooth firm fruit. Tasty to eat fresh with its fantastic flavour, they are best left to ripen fully. Oxheart requires staking and also watch that the heavy fruits don’t touch the ground. Tomatoes grow well on light or heavy soils but you will obtain better results if you add organic matter, some pre-planting fertiliser and the chosen site has good drainage. Excellent source of Vitamin C, A and E, potassium, fibre and antioxidants.

Cooking Tip: Perfect tomato for sandwiches, salads or just eating fresh from the vine.

How To Grow Sow early Spring to early Summer – all year round in frost free warm areas. Sow 5mm (1/4”) deep in pots or trays of seed raising mix compost. Transplant to 10-15cm (4-6”) pots in a warm, sunny spot. Transfer to final fruiting position when sturdy enough. Space plants 75cm (30”) apart each way. Feed regularly when the first truss has set. Pinch out the side shoots as they appear. Can also be sown direct in final growing position, especially your late crop. Harvest when red ripe, although slightly coloured fruit will ripen indoors.
