Tomato 'Liguria'

Liguria likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Liguria 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. Liguria 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.

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 Liguria about 42 days before your last frost date.

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

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

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