Bush, F1 hybrid variety.
Winner of RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Grande is a determinate tomato, producing heavy crops of square-shaped fruit weighing 70-80 grams.
Dark red skin and flesh, ideal for making tomato sauce.
Resistant to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt.

 

Sow tomato seeds about 1 cm deep into a seed tray or in small pots or cells, covered lightly, watered and placed at between 10-18 Celsius on a windowsill, heated greenhouse or propagator. Sow February - April.
Germination takes 8-11 days.

As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out. Transplant the seedlings into individual small pots, later on they might need to be repotted if growing quickly and large. Make sure the leaves do not overlap. Temperature during this stage should be 12-20 Celsius.
 
Plant outside mid-May-June 80x60 cm, or keep in the greenhouse.

Keep watering in dry spells, especially when flowering and when the fruit is setting.
No need for side-shoot removal, as this is a bush variety.
Vigorous plants might need some support.
