Kaleidoscopic Jewel - Indigo Early Tomato
This hardy, vigorous variety produces clusters of 5 to 7 round, green fruits, striped indigo by the sun through the action of anthocyanins. They are rich in seeds and gel and have a mild flavor. Recently developed by Brad Gates in California, Kaleidoscopic Jewel may offer some genetic instability.
It is advisable to wait until the indigo parts of the fruit take on a violet-brown color before harvesting.

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.
