Sowing advice :

Sow from February to April, either on a warm bed or in pots indoors or in a heated greenhouse, in fine sowing compost.
The seeds should be buried about 1 cm deep and covered with sowing compost.
Keep the compost moist but not soggy by watering with a sprayer.
Place the terrines near a window to ensure good light exposure.

Planting and care :

Transplant when frosts are no longer a concern and the plants are 12-15 cm tall, in rich, loose, healthy soil, 70 cm apart between rows and 50 cm apart along the row, in sunny conditions.
Put stakes in place before planting to support the plants.
Water abundantly at the base once a week to prevent the development of disease.

Pruning tomato plants:

Tomato plants can be pruned according to the gardener's preference. The aim is to increase fruit size and earliness, and make harvesting easier. However, pruning requires time and discernment. There are several pruning methods, from eliminating suckers to two-strand pruning.

Harvesting:

Tomatoes can be harvested around 4 to 5 months after sowing, once they are ripe and ready to eat.

Protection against pests:

To avoid diseases such as mildew and apical necrosis, protect your plants if necessary and ensure regular, abundant watering.
The Barbaniaka tomato is a versatile, easy-to-grow variety, ideal for adding freshness and flavor to your vegetable garden and dishes.
