Vulcan Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $2.95
SKU: 340483175 days, indeterminate - The vigorously growing, regular leaf plants of 'Vulcan' produce globe-shaped, two to five ounce, red colored fruit that have a mild, classic red tomato flavor. Borne in clusters of four to six tomatoes, they slip from the vine when ripe, making them very easy to harvest. A nice multipurpose variety; equally suited for fresh eating as well as processing.
Bred by the Horticulture Experiment Station, Vineland Station, Ontario, Canada from a cross between 'V473' and 'Vetomold' and developed for fall forcing in greenhouses. Resistant to Races 1, 2, 5, 7, and 9 of Cladosporium fulvum.[1] Originally released in 1949, our seed stock originated as USDA accession number PI 279736, which was introduced into the USDA's collection on March 19, 1962.

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.
