I just got seeds for Bombeta, as promised to me by Vladimir in the Czech Republic. He also included seeds for Jahodo,a cherry tomato he likes a lot.. And since it's a trade situation I now have to get back to him with, as I promised him and that's Rosa de Zarautz and Negro de Olmeda. Seeds are good, especially tomato seeds. Carolyn

I'm glad Carolyne.
Farmers in the Balearic Islands take tomato seeds that last longer and year after year, and I do that every year. Nico |

I am going to give you some advice on the cultivation of said tomato.
The tomato to hang, practically all the varieties are of medium maturity, between 70-80 days since their transplant so you have to program your sowing and planting so that the main maturation is between July 15 and August 15, by the next reason, from the middle of August in most of the regions the nighttime humps begin, a lot of temperature variation between day and night and some rains, when the tomato has these cracking irregularities and the conservation is lower , the tomato that lasts most is the one that hangs in July. In its cultivation it is practically like in all the tomatoes, but it is advisable not to fertilize it with any fertilizer rich in nitrogen, equal in chemists that in natural ones, it is very good fertilizers rich in potash, this gives them sweet and reinforces the skin, basic for its conservation, it is convenient when they begin to flower, to pass in water stress, not to water them until the small tomatoes are formed or you lose all the first bouquet or part of the, later, for every two times that the salad ones are irrigated Once I hang them I water them every 15 days and I am in a very hot area, so it is advisable not to mix them with others, it is very convenient to apply them several times copper, if they catch some mildew, at first glance it will not be see, but it affects its conservation, so we will arrive at the harvest, when each bunch has fifty percent ripe, we can take the whole bunch and hang it. For post-harvest conservation, it is convenient to put it in a store with low humidity and having the lowest temperature variation, so in a dry environment and little temperature variation, you will usually have tomatoes until April, May of next year, in this section it contributes a lot the climate of each one, I join each year from one harvest to the next |

The link is copied from a colleague in the Spanish tomato forum, I put them apart from the rest of the tomato plants and water them half as much water as the rest, and it works very well for me

Nan_PA_6b, I'm sorry about the seeds, maybe the seeds were sent by my partner Baikal. Do not worry I'm happy to send you new seeds.

Nicolas, I did get tomatoes (and saved seeds) from 4 of the 5 varieties I planted. So they are not a problem at all. Colgar Alacon is the only one that did not germinate.
I am very grateful to you and Baikal for the seeds he sent. I still have your seeds for 5 new varieties to grow in 2019. Do not send new seeds this year. Let's talk after the 2019 harvest. Nan |

Very interested to hear how yours store for you (and taste), Nan. I tried 2 storage varieties (I'll have to go back and check what they were) a few years ago but didn't get many tomatoes from them.

Ramallet Ibiza Blanca and Ramallet San Llorens are sitting in a bowl in my kitchen and ripening extremely slowly. You couldn't use them in the first few months if you wanted to. Hard to evaluate productivity due to an extremely late start on these two, but Ibiza was better than San Llorens. Ramallet des Figural ripened quickly and didn't hold long at all, but a lot of those were blemished. The most productive. |
