ARTEMIS

ARTEMIS

Product Description:

65 days. Not your average cherry tomato, Artemis amazed us with its flavor. In fact, our in-house taste-testers deemed it the best flavored cherry tomato in our 2018 trials. The 1 inch round fruit have an incredibly rich flavor that’s also very sweet. The vigorous indeterminate vines are disease resistant and robust, producing lots of trusses with 15–20, crisp, dark red fruit. F 1–2, LM, N, TMV, ToMV

Just got my first tomato - sweet!

The seedling grew quickly in my raised bed, and I just got my first tomato. Very sweet and flavorful. I look forward to more!

Delicious

Healthy plants, sweet with good tomato flavor, big producer. Ours were smaller than 1" - probably 3/4" average. Good germination.

Fantastic taste. Produces much longer than most tomatoes!

Excellent grafted tomato. Had to find a bucket for all the harvested fruit. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys an over performer, simply outstanding! We love these tomatoes 🍅

Beats Sakura

Very similar to Sakura but with better disease resistance. Tends to split outside during heavy rain but I believe would be a good candidate for high tunnels. Good taste, very prolific.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of transplant.

Culture
Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time
Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised
• Fertile, well-drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields
• Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom
• To prevent blossom end rot use a high calcium amendment
• Overwatering can cause fruit to crack

Direct Sowing
• Not recommended

Transplanting
• Sow seeds in trays 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3-4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears
• Strong light and cooler temperatures (60-70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days
• When transplanting work in compost, 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal
• Determinates can be spaced 18-24 inches apart, indeterminates 24-36 inches apart
• Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves
• Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants

Insects & Diseases
Common insects: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms
Insect control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms
Common diseases: Early and late blight
Disease prevention: A strict 3-4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide

Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when fully ripe, do not refrigerate for best flavor
• Green fruit should be ripened in a cool, dark area; make sure fruit are not touching
