Tomato - Grape Juliet
The Tomato Grape Juliet, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum (Hybrid)', is an All American Selection that has sweet, wonderful flavor and produces tons of red, glossy 1 oz fruits on grape-like clusters. The Juliet is an early tomato that will produce in almost any climate. 6 to 9 tomatoes are produced on each of many grape-like clusters. In addition to the wonderfully sweet flavor, they are very crack resistant. The very shiny fruit is attractive for salads and tasty just popped in one's mouth. Juliet is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. They may also be seeded outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. ... get more information
