When to Sow Akoya F1 Tomato Seeds

Sow January to April. Plant out from April to June.

Harvest 

July to October.

Where to Sow

Sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (1/4 in) deep in pots or trays of good seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator at a temperature of 18–21°C. 

What to do Next

Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into 9cm (3 1/2in) pots. Transplant to hanging baskets or containers. Plants have a bushy habit and do not require side-shooting. Place outdoors once all risk of frost has passed. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

Handy Tip

Fruits are at their best for favour when harvested and eaten when orange red in colour. Pick fruits as they ripen and water regularly, but do not overwater to help prevent these small fruits from splitting.
