Norderås, organic seeds
Eco Heirloom
Information
An old, early and healthy tomato from Norway. We received seeds from Lena Israelsson a few years ago, have tested it since then and now we have propagated the seeds to be able to offer this reliable variety.
Norderås grows to around 60 cm high and may need support to bear the clusters of medium-sized, round, deep red fruits. It can be grown both in cold houses and outdoors in sheltered locations. It produces many "regular" tomatoes on an early bush.
One portion contains approx. 20 seeds.

Cultivation advice
Sowing
Sow indoors just under 1 cm deep 7-8 weeks before setting out, in February-March for cool green houses and in March April for outdoors tomatoes! The best germination temperature is 24-29°C. Let the plants stand in a light airy place and after sprouting preferably at a temperature of 18°C. After getting a few real leaves the sprouts should be planted in pots. The temperature can now be lowered further.Spacing
Tomatoes need a mutual distance of 35-55 cm and 50-70 cm between rows.Harvest
Pick the tomatoes when they are fully ripe and warm from the sun! If there is risk of frost before all the tomatoes have ripened it is okay to let them after ripen indoors in a dark, cool (8-12°C) place. The whole de-leaved plant can also be hung upside down indoors and harvested gradually. Green tomatoes can be preserved or used for marmalade or fried. Tomatoes can also be frozen in pieces like peppers and chillies, without parboiling for sauces and casseroles in the future.Seed
