Name: Tomato: Matina Latin Name: Solanum lycopersicum Description: Tomato Matina is an heirloom tomato that produces round and tasty tomatoes that ripen very early. The tomatoes have a firm outer skin, but on the inside, they are juicy and tender with a rich flavour. Growing Habit: Indeterminate Sowing: March to May Harvesting: July to October How To Grow Matina Tomatoes From Seed: Seeds can be sown indoors in pots or seedling modules as early as February. They can be planted directly outside in pots from April onwards. When seedlings get to about 8cm tall, they can be thinned and planted in their own pot. Tomatoes need heat and do best in greenhouses. If growing them outside, put them in a warm sunny area of the garden. Plants will need to be supported by a stake or something similar to help the plant grow upwards and bear the fruit. Seed count is approximate.
