Financière du Québec Tomato
Large fleshy pink tomato 1 to 2 lbs. Generally without cracks. Ask Mike (my dad) if this is his favorite taste side! Undetermined. It's a cross that I do on the farm manually, you might have variability. She has us enabled us to settle our debt with the Financière Agricole du Québec by selling it in the public markets of Shawinigan and Prince-Arthur.

You can start sowing tomatoes from late February to mid-March. To succeed in your tomato sowing, you will absolutely need heat, indeed, Solanaceae seeds (Tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, peppers) will only germinate at a minimum temperature of 20°C day and night. Fill your buckets of sowing compost, insert the seeds a few mm deep then cover with compost. Water your buckets well without the soil being soggy either. Place your cups under light and at a temperature of 20°C.
When the shoots have released their first two leaves, they are transplanted into individual pots and always kept warm.
Plant
When frosts are no longer to be feared, transplanting is possible by June (when the plants have reached 12 to 15 cm) keeping a spacing of 1 m between the rows - 0.5 m between the plants. Plant the seedlings in an open, bright and airy place. The soil must be amended but reasonably, homemade compost buried in the spring will be ideal.
