Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Tomato seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting.

Ensure seeds are fresh and stored in a cool, dry place until planting.

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 keep them moist until germination occurs.

Germination:

Tomato seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days when kept at a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C).

Provide adequate light after germination to prevent seedlings from becoming leggy.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have developed true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors.

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.

Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) once seedlings are established and then every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.

Support: Provide support for indeterminate varieties with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep plants upright and facilitate harvesting.

Pruning: Remove suckers (side shoots) that develop in the leaf axils to encourage larger fruit and better airflow.

Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common tomato pests such as aphids, tomato hornworms, and diseases like early blight and late blight. Use organic pest control methods as needed.

By following these planting instructions and caring for your tomato plants diligently, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of fresh, flavorful tomatoes throughout the growing season.
