{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-tomato-alicante","title":"Tomato Alicante","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish-origin heritage tomato that has been a British favourite for over half a century, largely because it crops when other varieties sulk. Alicante sets fruit reliably in a cool summer, ripens evenly, and resists splitting after heavy rain — none of which sounds exciting until you have lost a crop to a wet August.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruits are medium salad tomatoes of 75 to 100 grams, glossy red with firm flesh and small seed cavities. The flavour is well balanced: sweet, but with the acid backbone that stops it tasting flat, which is where a lot of modern varieties fall down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is open pollinated, so seed from your best fruits comes true the following year. A cordon, so it wants sideshooting weekly, tying in as it climbs, and stopping in late August so the last trusses actually ripen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53657054249293,"sku":"TOM-ALI","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_855fw3855fw3855f.png?v=1775296089","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-tomato-alicante","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
