Why Choose Beefsteak Rainbow Mix Tomato?

• Colorful Possibilities: Discover a range of natural tomato colors for eye-catching fresh plates; every packet and harvest may differ.
• Varied Flavors: Enjoy differences in sweetness, acidity, and richness among the mix's tomatoes.
• Meaty Beefsteak Texture: Large slicing tomatoes make satisfying additions to sandwiches, salads, and cooked dishes.
• Mixed Growth Habits: Determinate plants tend toward a more concentrated harvest, while indeterminate vines can continue producing under suitable conditions.
• Heirloom and Open-Pollinated: Save seed from individually selected, suitably isolated plants if maintaining a particular variety; saved seed does not recreate the original packet's blend.

Planting Tips for Success

• Start Indoors: Sow approximately 6–8 weeks before your planned transplant date, about 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep evenly moist and provide bright light after emergence.
• Harden Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting after frost danger passes and soil warms.
• Sun and Soil: Choose 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and fertile, well-drained soil amended with finished compost.
• Spacing: Allow approximately 24–36 inches between supported plants and adequate row space for airflow and harvest access.
• Support: Install sturdy cages, stakes, or trellises early. Allow room for vigorous indeterminate plants and support determinate plants as fruit develops.
• Identify Plants: Label individual plants as their characteristics become apparent. A mix does not mean each plant produces multiple ripe fruit colors.
• Water and Mulch: Water consistently at soil level and mulch after soil warms to moderate moisture swings and reduce soil splash.
• Fertilizing: Follow soil-test recommendations and fertilizer label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen that favors foliage over fruit.
• Pruning: Train plants to their support and remove damaged foliage as needed. Avoid heavy pruning of determinate plants and retain healthy leaves to shade fruit.
• Harvest: Pick as each fruit reaches its characteristic ripe color and yields slightly to gentle pressure. Timing and productivity vary among plants.
