Planting Instructions for Stupice Tomato Seeds

Start Stupice Tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Plant the Tomato seeds ¼” deep in sterile seed starting mix. Germination occurs in 6-14 days in soil 70-90°F. Once true leaves develop, separate Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomato plants into 3-4″ pots, placing in full light & cooler temps (60-70°F). Set out hardened off Tomato transplants, in full sun, once soil has warmed, 18-30″ apart, in rows 3-4′ apart. Plant tall, spindly Tomato seedlings deeper, the stems will sprout roots and support and strengthen the plant. To help prevent blossom end rot, put 1 Tbs of lime, ground oyster shells, or crushed eggshells at the bottom of your planting hole. The calcium will help build strong cell walls once your heirloom tomatoes plants start producing fruit. For strong tomato plants, add 1 Tbs of aged compost and 1 Tbs of bone meal to the bottom of the hole as well.

    I grew Stupice in late summer, putting it in ground on 2 July, harvesting the first fruit September 4 (64 days) and the first good ones five days later. We’ve had unseasonably hot weather, about two weeks of high nineties to low 100s. I don’t know if that affected the flavor but these little tomatoes have a flavor reminiscent of stone fruits, peaches or plums. It is subtle and not as sweet as the tree fruits but there is definitely a fruity characteristic that comes through. Only 4 stars because I am also harvesting big heirlooms (mostly Cosmonaut Volkov and Noire de Crimée) that have it beat for sugar, acid, complexity and texture (which is on the soft and squishy side for Stupice). Still, it is tasty enough that it will make the cut and have a place in my garden next year. I will probably try it earlier in the season to take advantage of the advertised cold-resistance. Taste is far better than Glacier in my garden. No BER so far.
