The Venus's Tit tomato is an elongated type variety ending with a point, ideal for a mid-season harvest. Its fruits, weighing between 80 and 100 grams, are characterized by a firm, dense and slightly floury flesh, with a slight acidity. Their juicy texture and pleasant sweet flavor are very appreciated, and they contain few seeds. Versatile in the kitchen, this yellow tomato is perfect for salads, coulis, purees, or even eaten raw or dried for a touch of sweetness in your dishes.

Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it is best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, provide regular watering.


There are different points of view on how to approach the famous pruning of tomatoes and each gardener has arguments to justify his theory. To the question "what to do?" the answer is very simple: whatever you want!
Pruning tomatoes by disbudding is not obligatory; it is intended to increase the size of the fruits, their earliness and to facilitate the harvesting work.
This method nevertheless has two drawbacks: it requires time and discernment. Indeed, the head of the tomato plant is not always easy to distinguish from a secondary branch. In addition, removing the suckers causes wounds for your plant. It is therefore strongly recommended to consider helping the healing with a dusting of maerl or a green clay wash.
Another vision is therefore not to prune at all and to allow the plant to fully develop. It will therefore need more space in the garden, i.e. 1 m between each plant. The fruits will be smaller but more numerous.
A third solution remains the two-strand training. After pinching the foot 20 cm from the ground, only the two strands that form laterally are kept. Then all the suckers are removed.

You can harvest tomatoes 4 to 5 months after sowing.

Reproducible seeds harvested exclusively in the Pot'à'Jo garden, a horticultural and permaculture market garden of 1500m². Everything is cultivated there with deep respect for nature and their inhabitants. I have been growing my own seeds from seed to seed for years.
