Sub-Arctic Plenty is an early season tomato that is suitable for northern climates.  It is a bushy regular-leafed tomato plant.  It produces an abundance of 5-8 cm (2-3”) fruits in two sets on a strong determinate plant that grow up to 120 cm (47”) tall. The plant sets plenty of small to medium-sized scarlet fruits about 2-8 cm (1-3").  Fruit is concentrated in center clusters. Larger than a cherry or grape tomato, these red fruits  are thick-skinned and slightly-flattened, with that tart, "real tomato" taste.  Stake and tie, or use tomato cages if available.  It is a fairly low maintenance plant but it may require some pruning. Sub Arctic Plenty tomato is normally quite easy to grow and requires a minimum level of care throughout the growing season.  We use velcro strips to tie up both determinate and indeterminate varieties and they are reusable year after year.

Planting Instructions:
  • Start indoors mid-March to early April. Plant 2-3 seeds 6 mm (1/4”) deep in good potting mix in 7-10 cm (3-4”) pots. It is best to keep tomato seedlings under very bright light to prevent plants from becoming too leggy. You may have to transplant seedlings to larger pots to allow for root growth. When transplanting outside, allow 45 cm (18”) between plants and 60-76 cm (24-30”) between rows. Germination takes approximately 6-14 days. Transplant deeply to the first set of leaves after the risk of frost has passed. Thin to the strongest plant. The seeds require warm soil between 21-26°C (70-80° F). Warmer soils will promote faster germination.  Keep soil moist, but not soggy while awaiting germination. Moderate watering will suffice once seedlings break through the soil. Select a well-drained location that receives lots of sunlight after the last frost to transplant from pots. Sub-Arctic Plenty is a determinate vine that grows to 91-125 cm (36-48”) tall.  Tomato cages work well to support the plant and the tomato yields with this tomato plant.
  • Soil Conditions:  Well worked rich, loose well-drained soil. Soil ph: 5.5-7.0, Ideal 6.3-6.5 
  • Planting Depth:   Sow seeds 6-12 mm (¼-½") deep.
  • Germination:  6-14 days.
  • Height at Maturity:  61-120 cm (24-47”)   Spread:  50-60 cm (20-24”) across
  • Days to Maturity:   55-65 days.  
  • Watering:   Tomato plants are heavy feeders especially when they have fruit growing.  Proper watering is tricky as you have to water deeply and then let the soil dry out slightly but still remain slightly moist and then water deeply again.  Keep watering schedule consistent throughout the growing season and you will not be disappointed.  Moisture is critical to prevent cracked fruits and blossom end rot.   Mulch the soil around tomato plants to help reduce water evaporation and use drip irrigation.
  • Sun/Shade:  Full Sun    
  • Spacing after Thinning:  Set transplants 45 cm (18”) part in rows 60-76 cm (24-30”).
Additional Information
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. Harvest fruit when they are the desired size, color and firmness.  In general, perfectly ripe tomatoes show deep color but still feel firm when gently squeezed.  Tomatoes do continue to ripen after being picked. Gently grab and twist until the tomato pulls free from the stem, or use a pair of clippers. Cut stems close to fruits.  Always store picked tomatoes at room temperature indoors, or in a shady place outside. Never refrigerate tomatoes, because temperatures below 12.8° C (55° F) cause flavor compounds to break down.
