Tomato Dr Wyche's Yellow

Description

This is undoubtedly one of the best tasting yellow beefsteak tomatoes to be found, combining luscious sweetness with plenty of tangy tomato flavour. The beautiful golden-yellow fruits, which have very few seeds, are unblemished and smooth, and vary from 10 ounces to 1 lb (400g). The huge, vigorous plants produce many meaty fruits. The breeder, Dr Wyche, was a Cherokee dentist who also part-owned a circus, and used Elephant manure to fertilise his tomatoes in Oklahoma. We do not recommend this practice at home though....(Cordon)

Sowing Advice

Cover seeds only slightly. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Containers are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take 3-10 days. Move sprouting plantings immediately to bright light conditions, eg a window. Inadequate light is a frequent cause of failure of young seedlings. Around time of last frost, set seedlings into pots. Remove side-shoots and support the plant.
