Ten Fingers of Naples tomato
$4.00 – $10.00
(Lycopersicon esculentum)
Ten Fingers gets its name from its distinctive clusters of slim fruit. An excellent paste tomato, more productive even than San Marzano, this was an excellent addition to our gardens. We also found that they dry well in our solar dehydrators if sliced in eights lengthwise. Also called Dix Doigts de Naples. Determinate or semi-determinate; does not require a tall trellis, but would benefit from caging.
Start indoors 7 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/2” deep; harden off for 10 days before transplanting. Prepare hole with manure and ground eggshell in the bottom, covered by a layer of soil. Set bush types 24” apart, vines 18” apart. Train vines up trellises.
