SKU: 340446175 days, indeterminate - The regular-leaf plants of 'Globonnie' are vigorous and productive. Their fruit are deep-globe shaped, red colored, three to eight ounces each with a mildly tart, slightly sweet classic red tomato flavor. Excellent for fresh eating as well as processing.
Bred by T. F. Ritchie and crew at the research laboratories of the horticulture division at the Dominion Experimental Farm in Ottawa, Canada[1] 'Globonnie' is a stabilized cross between 'Livingston Globe' and 'Bonny Best'[2,3] and introduced in 1938. Our original seed sample was USDA GRIN accession number PI 121665. During our early grow outs, we did observe a small percentage of plants that produced larger, more oblate-shaped fruit. We will continue working to cleanup this variety over the coming years.

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.
