Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Choose rich, well-drained soil with a pH near 6.0 to 6.8. Mix in compost before transplanting.
• Timing: Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, then transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
• Spacing: Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart, with wider spacing where airflow is limited.
• Support: Use a sturdy cage, stake, or trellis. Indeterminate vines can reach 5 to 7 feet and carry heavy clusters.
• Watering: Water deeply and consistently at the soil line. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and help prevent soil from splashing onto leaves.
• Fertilizing: Add compost or a balanced tomato fertilizer at planting, then follow label directions during growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen once flowering begins.
• Pruning: Remove damaged lower leaves and crowded growth as needed to improve airflow, and secure new vine growth to its support.
• Harvesting: Begin picking in about 70 days from transplant when fruit is fully colored and yields slightly to gentle pressure.
