Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation required. Tomato seeds are ready to plant.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Use seed-starting trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 2 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days. Once seedlings have developed 2 sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots if starting in trays.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures have warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in the garden or plant them in hanging baskets or containers filled with potting soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season, especially during hot weather. Support: If growing in containers or hanging baskets, provide support such as stakes or cages as the plants grow. Pruning: Pinch off suckers (side shoots) that develop in the leaf axils to encourage better fruit production. Disease Prevention: Monitor for common tomato diseases such as blight and aphids. Use appropriate fungicides or insecticides if necessary, following label instructions. Harvesting: Cherry tomatoes typically ripen 65-75 days after transplanting. Harvest when fruits are firm, fully colored, and have a slight give when gently squeezed.
