The Tomate Barbaniaka is an heirloom variety celebrated for its early maturity and prolific yield. It produces numerous elongated clusters of small, round, red fruits, each weighing between 3 to 5 grams. These sweet tomatoes offer a harmonious balance of acidity and sweetness, making them ideal for appetizers and as decorative additions to salads and various dishes. Notably, this variety is resistant to cracking and does not require pruning, simplifying cultivation.
Sowing: From February to April, sow seeds in a warm environment (around 20°C) in seed trays or pots filled with fine seed compost.
Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed several leaves and after the last frost, transplant them into the garden, spacing plants approximately 50 cm apart.
Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, avoiding waterlogging.
Harvest: Harvest from June to September when fruits are fully red and slightly soft to the touch.
Other Considerations: Provide support for plants to accommodate their indeterminate growth habit; mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
