Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Cherokee Purple Tomato seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed starting mix.
Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Once seedlings have developed true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture levels and provide adequate warmth for successful germination.

Transplanting:

Choose a planting site with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
Space transplants 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced 36-48 inches apart.
Plant seedlings at the same depth they were growing in their containers.
Water transplants thoroughly after planting to help them establish.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, providing about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Supporting: Provide support for Cherokee Purple Tomato plants, such as stakes or cages, to prevent sprawling and to keep fruits off the ground.
Pruning: Remove suckers (the growth between the main stem and branches) to promote better air circulation and fruit production.
Monitoring: Regularly inspect plants for signs of pests and diseases, and take appropriate action if necessary, using organic methods whenever possible.
