TOMATO
Garden Peach

Sprawling plants carry tresses of pale yellow fruits with a pink blush and a soft skin that is reminiscent of a small rosaceous peach. There are 6-8 tomatoes per tress. The flavor is memorable, somewhat sweet and a bit tart.

NOTE: This is NOT the fruit known as Cocona or "garden peach." This is an heirloom variety of tomato. For more information on the cocona, visit Purdue University's horticulture site. To inquire about purchasing cocona seeds, try Trade Winds Fruit.

Suggestions: For easier harvesting, support plants with stakes or cages. Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before planting outdoors. Harden off seedlings by putting them outside during the day for 1 week before transplanting. Transplant seedlings to the garden when nighttime temperatures remain above 55 degrees Farenheit. Enrich the soil before planting. Use landscape fabric to retain heat in the soil. To avoid diseases, don't plant where tomatoes or peppers have grown in the last two years. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist.
