TOMATO
Patio Princess (Hybrid)

These small plants are perfect for growing in small containers. Or plant 2 or 3 Patio Princess plants in a larger pot or tub. Make room on your patio or balcony! Patio Princess fruits very heavily, producing as much as a tomato twice its size. So get ready to harvest lots of tasty 2 1/2-3" tomatoes from each 2' plant! Determinate.

Source: Burpee (Exclusive)
Days to germination: 7-14
Days to harvest: 65-68
Planting depth: 1/4"

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.
