TOMATO
Jolly Elf (Hybrid)

Jolly Elf is the first determinate hybrid grape tomato! Until now, the only varieties available were sprawling, indeterminate vines. Jolly Elf produces massive amounts of sweet, delicious, bright red grape tomatoes on 5' plants. The firm fruit can be harvested up to 7 days earlier than indeterminate varieties, and the plants will continue to set fruit throughout the season.

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.
