For the past 6 years or so I have always made a point of getting my Maskotka seeds by February.. if I could only grow one tomato it would have to be this variety. Last saturday we planted 30 of them. The big attraction for me is they are blight resistant for starters. The other big bonus is there is no maintenance whatsover, other than watering every day and feeding once a week. There is no need to prick out the side shoots .. leave them be.
We grow them in the ground, supported by canes about 2ft tall and we also grow them in baskets unsupported and just let them collapse over the sides.
Dont get too concerned about whether it is a dwarf, or a tumbling type. We are stii using last years crop from,the freezer. They are a very prolific producer of fruit.
