Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or other organic matter. Tomatoes prefer slightly acidic soil with steady moisture.
• Timing: Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or transplant outdoors once the soil and nighttime temperatures have warmed.
• Spacing: Give plants about 18 to 24 inches of room, with wider spacing where airflow is limited or disease pressure is high.
• Planting Depth: Bury the lower portion of the stem when transplanting to encourage a stronger root system.
• Support: Even determinate plants benefit from a sturdy tomato cage or stake, especially when carrying large beefsteak fruit.
• Watering: Water deeply and consistently at the soil line. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and help prevent soil from splashing onto foliage.
• Fertilizing: Feed with compost or a balanced tomato fertilizer at planting, then follow the product directions during fruit development. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leaves instead of tomatoes.
• Pruning: Remove damaged lower leaves and crowded growth as needed to improve airflow, but avoid heavy pruning of a determinate plant.
• Harvesting: Begin harvesting in about 80 days, picking fruit when it has developed full color and yields slightly to gentle pressure.
