Tomato 'Mirabelle'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mirabelle is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Mirabelle needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this hybrid variety are not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

Look to ensure a distance 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

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 Mirabelle is a tender plant.

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