SKU: 340398188 days, indeterminate - 'Large Lucky Red' is another introduction by author and tomato expert, Craig LeHoullier. It is a red-fruited, potato leaf variety, which is a rare combination of traits. The plants are large, as are the fruit that they produce. The tomatoes range from ten to forty ounces each averaging about one pound each. A beefsteak-type, the flesh is meaty and juicy, with a balanced, mild flavor.
When Craig sent us the variety in 2016 he told us that 'Large Lucky Red' is, ". . . out of the Lucky Cross line - this one is RED (not pink), large, oblate, delicious. I've been working on this for some 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.
