TAKING A LITTLE BREAK! We’re busy stocktaking and visiting gardens from June 26 – July 12. Orders will be dispatched the week of July 13. Thanks for your patience!
Red Alert may have small salad sized fruits but they are big on flavour and produced in profusion. This is a versatile bush variety that grows happily in the garden, planted in a pot on the patio or in a greenhouse. It is a really good early season tomato choice and can crop in as little as 7-8 weeks from transplanting. Determinate
SOW: about 6-8 weeks before the last frost is expected sow in modules (cover or put on a windowsill). We transplant to pots when large enough to handle and grow on until ready to harden off and plant after frost danger has passed.
GROW: plant in a sunny sheltered part of your garden or in a pot. You can grow this in a greenhouse. For the best flavour keep soil evenly damp (don’t over-water or overfeed). Red Alert, being determinate, stops growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the fruits ripen at about the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks). This variety can be cropping 7-8 weeks after transplanting.
