Sowing

Indoor Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or pots filled with a sterile seed starting mix.

Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Germination

Time Frame: Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days.

Light: Provide seedlings with 14-16 hours of light per day using grow lights or a sunny windowsill.

Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle for gentle watering.

Transplanting

Hardening Off: About a week before transplanting, gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day, increasing the time daily.

Transplanting Time: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

Spacing: Plant seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 36-48 inches apart.

Planting Depth: Plant seedlings deep, burying 2/3 of the stem to encourage strong root development.

Care and Maintenance

Watering: Water deeply and regularly, providing 1-2 inches of water per week. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage.

Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Staking/Trellising: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the plants and keep the fruit off the ground.

Pruning: Remove the suckers that grow in the crotch joint of two branches to direct the plant's energy into producing fruit.

Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for pests such as aphids, tomato hornworms, and whiteflies. Use organic pest control methods or insecticidal soap if needed. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

By following these instructions, you can successfully grow and enjoy the flavorful and versatile 'Consuelo' tomatoes in your garden.
