The Brandywine tomato has grown since the 1800s. This tasty semi indeterminate heirloom variety, with large potato leaf foliage, and large globe-shaped fruit has pink flesh and some striping on the shoulders. Fruits have a slightly smokey flavour. Delicious!

Sow indoors 1 to 2 cm deep, 2 to 3 months before transplanting outside. After seedlings have set 2 sets of true leaves transplant to small containers until the plant is established. It is now safe to transplant it once more to its final home. Containers work well for many tomatoes, allowing them to be moved in inclement weather. It does very well in a greenhouse but not required. Outdoor sowing requires direct sowing after the last frost and thin to suit your space. Good drainage. Full Sun (6 to 8 hours) and even moisture are recommended for best results.
