DESCRIPTION: Admittedly, it is difficult to imagine growing tomatoes in Siberia, but this delicious heirloom hails from that very region. This is a fairly early tomato, and one that is more apt to set fruit in cool climates. The small, dark-red, slightly pear-shaped fruits begin maturing a little more than 2 months after planting, no matter where you live.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Transplant into warm, deeply worked soil. Work fertilizer high in phosphorous into soil. Cage or stake plants and place 4 to 6 inches of mulch around plants. Side dress with fertilizer when first cluster of fruit forms on vines.
