What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This certified organic tomato requires an early start indoors and consistent care to support its growth and heavy fruit set.
-
Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Use a soilless growing mix for germinating and growing seedlings.
-
Germination: The temperature of the seeding mix should be 21°C to 24°C for prompt germination, which takes 7 to 10 days.
-
Seedling Care: When the seedlings are 4 cm high, transplant each into individual pots, reduce the temperature to 15°C to 18°C, and grow on under lights until planting out in late May.
-
Transplanting: Transplant into well-drained organic soil. Space the indeterminate plants 90 cm apart.
-
Culture: Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight, and a steady supply of water. Keep plants well-watered, applying the water to the soil rather than showering down over the plants. Staking or caging is required.
-
Soil Management: It is very important to keep plants evenly watered as fluctuations in available soil moisture can lead to problems such as fruit cracking or splitting and blossom end rot. Apply a mulch of straw around plants to protect them from soil-borne diseases and help conserve moisture. Rotate the crop position in the garden every year; wait three years before using the same patch. Dig out and discard diseased plants; do not compost them.
