Patio Choice is a semi-compact tomato developed specifically for small spaces and container gardens. Can produce over 200 juicy and delicious fruit on 60-75 cm (24-30") vines. This compact plant produces small, sweet, and juicy tomatoes, ideal for snacking, salads, or cooking. Great for hanging baskets.
Keep tomatoes away from all members of the Brassica family: cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
- Companion Planting: Plant near asparagus, basil, calendula, dill, garlic, nasturtiums, onions, parsley, thyme. Calendula serves as a deterrent for common garden pests. Asparagus acts as a repellent for nematodes. Basil is effective in repelling whiteflies, mosquitoes, spider mites, and aphids. Additionally, basil attracts bees, which enhances pollination, improves the health of tomatoes, and enhances their flavor. Dill creates an environment that makes it challenging for cutworms to lay their eggs and also supports parasitic wasps that prey on pest caterpillars. Lastly, thyme reduces the egg-laying activity of armyworms.
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Transplant seedlings into the garden once the soil temperature has reached 15°C (60°F). Pick a location sheltered from the wind. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.
Approximate Seed count: 30-35
Planting Depth: 6mm (1/4") Seed Spacing: 2.5cm (1") Plant Spacing: 60-90cm (24-36")
