What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Tomatoes are heat-loving plants that require careful moisture management to thrive in the Canadian climate.
-
Sow Indoors: Start seeds 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost using a peat-based growing mix.
-
Germination: Maintain a mix temperature of 21–24°C for prompt germination, which typically takes 10–14 days.
-
Growing On: Once seedlings reach 4 cm, transplant into individual pots and reduce the temperature to 15–18°C to encourage sturdy growth.
-
Transplanting: After hardening off, move outdoors in late May into well-drained organic soil.
-
Care: Provide Full Sun and a steady supply of water. Always apply water directly to the soil rather than showering the foliage to prevent disease.
-
Moisture Management: Use a straw mulch to conserve moisture and protect against soil-borne diseases. Consistent watering is crucial to prevent fruit cracking and blossom end rot.
-
Crop Rotation: To maintain soil health, wait three years before planting tomatoes in the same garden patch.
Why Tumbling Tom Yellow Seeds belong in Your Garden
If you have limited space but crave the taste of homegrown tomatoes, Tumbling Tom is the ultimate solution. Its ornamental cascading habit turns a functional food plant into a beautiful patio display. Because it is a semi-determinate hybrid, you won’t have the “all at once” harvest of typical bush tomatoes; instead, you’ll enjoy a continuous supply of golden-yellow treats for your salads and snacks all season long.
