Growing guide

Sowing

Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost date. Cover seed with ¼ inch of soilless mix. Providing heat under the seed starting tray will promote germination. Keep evenly moist. Seed can also be started directly in the garden after all danger of frost is past.

Thinning

When seedlings are 3–4 inches tall, transplant into 4" containers. After danger of frost is past, transplant outside allowing for 2–3 feet in all directions. When transplanting, remove lower leaves and bury the plant deep. The hairs on the stem will turn into roots and help support the plant as it grows.

Germination

10–14 days depending on soil temperature.

Remarks

These are indeterminate plants that will continue to produce fruit over a longer season than determinate plum tomatoes. Provide support; vines will grow to 6 feet tall.
