Caitlin's Lucky Stripe Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $2.95

SKU: 3403931

82 days, indeterminate - 'Caitlin's Lucky Stripe' is a mid to late season, productive potato leaf variety that yields four to eight ounce fruit that are beautiful, very juicy, slightly tangy and quite delicious.

Sent to us in early 2017 by Craig LeHoullier, he described them as a "... potato leaf variety out of the 'Little Lucky' line. This one is medium sized, round to oval (some nearly blunt heart), pink with greenish gold stripes, very prolific and tasty. This is another [variety] I've worked on [stabilizing] here and there for a few years."
Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
