What you need to know to Plant & Grow

This indeterminate variety is prized for its high yield and disease resistance, but still requires plenty of support and moisture.

• Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost date. Use a peat moss-based growing mix.
• Germination: The temperature of the seeding mix should be 21°C to 24°C for prompt germination, which occurs in 10 to 14 days.
• Seedling Care: When the seedlings are 4 cm high, transplant each into individual pots, reducing the temperature to 15°C to 18°C until planting outside.
• Transplanting: After hardening off, transplant into well-drained organic soil in late May. Space the indeterminate plants 90 cm apart.
• Culture: Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight, and a steady supply of water. Keep plants well-watered, applying the water to the soil rather than showering down over the plants.
• Disease Resistance: This variety features resistance to: Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium, Alternaria Stem Canker, Stemphylium, Root Nematodes, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
• Soil Management: It is very important to keep plants evenly watered as fluctuations in available soil moisture can lead to problems such as fruit cracking or splitting and blossom end rot. Apply a mulch of straw around plants to protect them from soil-borne diseases and help conserve soil moisture. Rotate the crop position in the garden every year; wait three years to use the same patch. Dig out and discard diseased plants; do not compost.
