Plants are indeterminate, vigorous and productive, setting clusters of 6–9 fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis variety has been stewarded by a seed grower who has been dry farming it for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGrowing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTransplant. If you can provide enough heat and light, tomatoes can be started up to 8 weeks before intended transplant date. Sow seeds into individual pots or cells 1\/2\" deep, or start larger amounts in flats. Use bottom heat for germination. Move seedlings into larger pots once roots are peeking out the bottom. Transplant 1-3' apart, once nighttime low temperatures are at least 10° C — ideally higher. Harden off before putting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDry growing (growing without watering or minimal watering):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe are still trialling and getting to know this variety, but so far it appears to have relatively low incidence of blossom end rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChoose a site with moisture-retentive but well draining, fertile soil. Well-worked, heavier soils with good soil structure are ideal, but more sandier soils may reasonably succeed if they have high organic matter. Choose a sheltered site if possible; mulch soil and aggressively remove weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCurrently we prune dry farmed tomatoes to two leaders, run up twine. Remove fruit with evidence of blossom end rot. A small amount of liquid fertilizer, particularly potassium, helps. Purists may say this isn't technically \"dry growing,\" but we believe in the value of the irrigation middle ground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eagleridge Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67666091278486,"sku":null,"price":4.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0470\/2375\/1318\/files\/MielMexique1.jpg?v=1793754069","url":"https:\/\/eagleridgeseeds.com\/products\/miel-du-mexique-tomato-df","provider":"Eagleridge Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
