Tomato 'Golden Egg'

Golden Egg likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Egg 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. Golden Egg needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.5 (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 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 Golden Egg about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

Plant to first leaves to promote strong roots.

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

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