Tomato 'Egg Yolk'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Egg Yolk 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. Planting Egg Yolk in loamy soil with a ph of between 5.5 and 7.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 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 Egg Yolk about 42 days before your last frost date.

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

As Egg Yolk is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

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

Named ‘Egg Yolk’ because the tomatoes resemble the size, shape, and colour of an egg yolk.
