Product Information

'Big Beryl' is certainly not shy, standing out among other beefsteaks, she is as large as she is stunning. An early beefsteak variety with an abundant yield, the striped fruit almost glow gold and red when ripe, revealing a vortex of colour when sliced and served atop your favourite crispbread with just a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Yum!

Sow seed 6-8 weeks before you want to plant out your tomatoes. Never plant tomatoes in the same bed two years running as you risk infection from a build up of pests and diseases. Tomatoes need an open, sunny position, with plenty of air circulation to thrive. Tomatoes are best in a bed which has been heavily manured for a previous crop such as broccoli. A soil that is too rich in nutrients will produce prolific, but soft, sappy growth which is prone to disease. Long, leggy toato seedlings can be planted very deeply or even on their sides, as the stem is able to grow roots when covered with soil, and a large, healthy root system will develop.
