Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Tomato seeds generally do not require pre-treatment. However, soaking seeds in warm water for 1-2 hours can sometimes aid germination.
Sowing:
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.
Method: Use seed-starting trays or pots filled with a seed-starting mix. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and space them 2 inches apart.
Temperature: Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Tomato seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under proper conditions. Once seedlings have developed their first true leaves, transplant them into larger pots if needed to promote strong root growth.
Transplanting:
When: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures have warmed and all danger of frost has passed.
Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 3-4 feet apart.
Planting Depth: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant seedlings deep, burying the stem up to the first set of true leaves to encourage stronger root development.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods and throughout the growing season. Avoid overwatering to prevent diseases like blossom end rot.
Support: Stake or cage tomato plants to support their growth and prevent them from sprawling on the ground.
Pruning: Remove suckers (side shoots) that develop in the leaf axils to promote larger fruits and better airflow around the plants.
Mulching: Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Happy gardening!
