Tomato 'Chudo Rinka'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Chudo Rinka is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Chudo Rinka needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Aim to sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

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

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Chudo Rinka is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.

The name means “Market Miracle” or “Miracle of the Market” in Russian.
