Bonny Best - Red Mid-season Tomato
This old variety, vigorous and not very sensitive to cold, produces bunches of 6 to 8 round, bright-red fruits weighing 150 to 250 g, with very firm, sweet and tart flesh.
It is advisable to protect the fruit from "sunburn" by creating a light shade.

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.
