Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• Soak seeds in warm water for 6-12 hours before planting to enhance germination.
• Use a high-quality seed-starting mix for best results.

Sowing Guidelines

Indoor Sowing (Recommended for Early Start):

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
• Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed trays or small pots.
• Maintain a temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 6-8 inches tall and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F (13°C).

Outdoor Sowing (For Warmer Climates):

• Direct sow only when soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).
• Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.

Germination & Growth

• Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
• Gradually harden off seedlings before transplanting to prevent transplant shock.
• Provide support with stakes or cages due to the plant’s vining nature.

Harvesting

• Ready to harvest in 70-80 days when tomatoes are deep red and slightly firm.
• Pick regularly to encourage continuous production.
• Can be harvested slightly early and ripened indoors if necessary.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is recommended.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to encourage fruiting.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Pruning: Remove lower leaves and suckers for better airflow and higher yields.

Pest & Disease Control

• Common Pests: Aphids, whiteflies, and hornworms—use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
• Common Diseases: Early blight, late blight, and powdery mildew—ensure good airflow and avoid overhead watering.
