Tomato 'Jelly Bean'

this variety does need to be staked as it will get 6-7 feet tall.

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Jelly Bean is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Jelly Bean needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Seeds are sterile or will not come true to plant.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Jelly Bean about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high. Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong roots.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Jelly Bean is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
