A classic hearty slicing tomato with rich, sweet pink-tinged fruit that can weigh up to 1.5kg. Bred in West Virginia during the Great Depression of the 1930s, these delicious tomatoes earned their name by getting many small growers out of debt.
Sow direct in warm conditions or raise in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and keep moist. Transplant when 5cm high.
Choose a well drained Sunny position. Prepare soil by adding Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone. Must be staked securely. When first flowers appear begin applying Yates Thrive Tomato Liquid Plant Food regularly. Protect from snails and slugs.
Great companion plant for basil, broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, marigolds, marjoram, parsley & parsnip. Fruit contains health promoting lycopene.
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
