Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 6-12 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing: 

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (70-75°F).

Transplanting: 

When seedlings are 2-3 inches tall and have at least two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for about a week before planting them in the garden. Transplant outdoors after the last frost date, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Support: Provide support with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep plants upright and prevent the fruit from touching the ground.
Pruning: Remove the lower leaves and suckers (the shoots that develop between the main stem and branches) to promote better air circulation and focus the plant's energy on fruit production.
Mulching: Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.
Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when they are fully ripe and have reached their full color. Alicante tomatoes are typically ready for harvest about 70-75 days after transplanting.

Happy gardening!
