I live in a fairly cold region and I planted my tomato Crokini bedding plants in mid-May last year. What I liked about this variety is that it grows quickly and I already had a good-sized plant in late June and the first tomatoes in mid-July. We enjoyed them a lot – especially my kids who ate them right in the garden! - and I was impressed with how many fruits this variety produced. We had them several times with our aperitifs over the summer! I so enjoyed this first experience that I bought some again this summer!
