Type: Hybrid (F1) Fruit Size: 10-12 ounces Maturity: 75-80 days from transplant Resistance: High resistance to Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt Planting Instructions Seed Preparation:
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 4-6 hours to enhance germination. Sowing:
Containers: Use seed trays or small pots filled with a seed-starting mix. Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches apart. Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination:
Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Timeframe: Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days. Light: Provide 12-16 hours of light daily using grow lights or placing near a sunny window. Transplanting:
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 55°F (13°C). Harden Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week by placing them outside for a few hours each day, increasing the time daily. Spacing: Plant seedlings 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced 3-4 feet apart. Depth: Plant seedlings deeper than they were in their pots, burying the stem up to the first set of true leaves to encourage strong root development. Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly, aiming for 1-2 inches of water per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Staking/Caging: Support plants with stakes or cages to keep the fruit off the ground and promote air circulation. Pruning: Remove suckers (the shoots that grow between the main stem and branches) to direct the plant's energy towards fruit production.
