Tomato 'Stupicke Polni Rane'

Tomato 'Stupicke Polni Rane' was my favourite in my taste trial at the marvellous Worton Organic Farm shop. Delicious, very long and heavy cropping type with good blight resistance.

Plant your tomatoes with Tagetes and basil to help protect against aphids.

Genus	Lycopersicon lycopersicum
Group/Species	Heirloom
Variety	Stupicke Polni Rane
Type	Half-Hardy Annual
Common Name	Potato leaved variety, Early field Stupice
Soil Type	Fertile
Site	Full Sun, Shelter
Moisture	Well-drained

Spacing	Leave 45cm (18in) between each plant. Plant them deep, sinking them to a depth of 0.5cm below the seed leaves.
Sowing, Seeds, Planting	Sow under cover at end of Jan-March for planting out in April/May.
Care Tips	Under cover or outside they need staking, and regular watering and feeding for best results. Need trimming and support, pinch out the tops once they have set 5 or 6 trusses. While still small, you also need to pinch out the side shoots. Water regularly to prevent splitting. Find more information on how to grow tomatoes from seed.
Storing	Tomatoes can be kept at room temperature for 4-5 days (they will lose their flavour if kept in the fridge), and will freeze well.
Harvesting	Cordons fruit over a long period. You should be picking tomatoes in July and continue harvesting from the cordons until October.
Cooking Notes	These are delicious raw or cooked. This is delicious in Sarah's Andalusian soup salad recipe.

I grew tomatoes from seed for the first time ever, this year. I chose the Stupicke variety and I certainly wasn't disappointed. They are the most delicious, sweet tasting tom I have had. I have just finished picking the last ones (Sept). Highly recommended.
