Presented at the 1900 Universal Exhibition as the most productive and earliest of all tomatoes, the Reine des Hâtives is ideal for salads, garnishes and preserves.
To sow the Reine des Hâtives tomato, favour the months of February to April. Opt for cups or a heated greenhouse, with fine potting soil, and maintain a constant temperature of at least 20°C to ensure optimal germination. Bury the seeds about 1 cm deep, then water lightly to keep the potting soil moist, without soaking it. Place the cups near a window for good light exposure.
When the plants are 12 to 15 cm tall and there's no risk of frost, transplant them into rich, loose, healthy soil, spacing them 70 cm between rows and 50 cm apart on the row, in a sunny spot. Install stakes to support the growth of the plants and water abundantly at the base once a week to prevent disease.
When it comes to pruning tomato plants, opinion is divided. Some gardeners opt to remove suckers to increase fruit size and earliness, while others prefer to let the plants develop naturally. You can also lead the plants on two strands by removing all the suckers after pinching the plant 20 cm from the ground.
Reine des Hâtives tomatoes can be harvested 4 to 5 months after sowing.
