Tomato - Mlle Foriers

Minimum Seed Count: 10

The Mlle Foriers tomato is an old European heirloom with a striking look that makes it stand out in the garden. The fruits are medium to large, typically weighing around 6–12 ounces, with a deep, dusky rose-pink skin washed with subtle purple tones. They have a slightly flattened, round shape, often with gentle ribbing near the shoulders that gives them a classic heirloom charm. The flesh inside is rich, meaty, and almost glowing pink-red, with fewer seeds and a silky texture. Creamy and delicious giving that perfect summer tomato taste! Indeterminate 

🌱 Planting Guide:

📦 Seed Starting

• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

• Sow ¼" deep in moist, well-draining seed mix.

• Keep soil warm (70–80°F) for best germination.

☀️ Transplanting

• Harden off seedlings before moving them outside.

• Plant once soil temps stay above 60°F and all danger of frost has passed.

• Space 24–36" apart in rows or raised beds.

🌿 Growing Needs

• Provide full sun (6–8+ hours daily).

• Stake or cage these vigorous plants to support heavy clusters.

• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep soil temps steady.

💧 Watering

• Water deeply and consistently, aiming for 1–2 inches per week.

• Avoid overhead watering to reduce risk of blight—water at the soil line.

🍅 Harvesting

• Fruits ripen to a striking mix of deep indigo shoulders and rose pink bases.

• Pick when the red blush is rich and the fruits are slightly soft to the touch.

• Enjoy fresh off the vine, in salads, or as a sweet-tart garden snack!
