The tomato people grow gardens for.
Bawole Serce is a variety that needs no introduction: for decades, it has been synonymous with a “real” tomato, like the ones remembered from grandma’s garden. The fruits are huge, pointed at the end and often slightly ribbed, while the cut surface is almost entirely filled with flesh – the seed chambers are small, so a slice does not fall apart on a sandwich. The Legutko version produces firm, uniform fruits in a raspberry color that hints at their mild, low-acid and distinctly sweet flavor.
The plants grow very vigorously and are productive, although they ripen somewhat later than small-fruited varieties – the first harvests are in August. The characteristic drooping, delicate leaves are a feature of the oxheart type, not a sign of insufficient water.
Sowing (mid-March – mid-April, under cover): sow the seeds in trays or multi-cell trays at a depth of approx. 0.5 cm, at a temperature of 22–25°C. Germination takes 7–10 days; then lower the temperature to 18–20°C and provide maximum light so the seedlings do not become leggy.
Pricking out: when the first true leaves appear, transplant the seedlings into 8–10 cm pots, planting them up to the cotyledons. This vigorous variety quickly fills its pot – do not delay planting out.
Planting out (second half of May): after the last frosts, at a spacing of 60–70 × 50–60 cm, in fertile, well-drained soil enriched generously with compost. Insert a 2 m stake before planting; under cover, plant out the seedlings from the beginning of May.
Care: grow on 1 stem (for the largest fruits) or 2 stems (for a higher yield), regularly removing side shoots. Water infrequently but generously, always at the base. Support heavy trusses separately so they do not break away from the stem. Feed every 2 weeks with a potassium fertilizer, and at the end of August pinch out the growing tip above the 5th–6th truss.
Above all, eaten fresh: in thick slices with salt and olive oil, on sandwiches, in a Caprese salad or as carpaccio. Thanks to its meaty, dry flesh, it is also one of the best tomatoes for sauces, passata and roasting – one fruit is enough for lunch for two people. It is less suitable for preserving whole in jars, simply because it is too large.
Want to beat the size record? Grow the plant on one stem, leave 4–5 trusses and only 2–3 fruits on each – the remaining energy will go into those left on the plant. If yield is your priority, grow it on two stems and do not thin the fruits: there will be more of them, but they will weigh 250–300 g each.
