Planting And Care

• Water generously for the first few days
• Water well throughout growing season, about 2 inches per week during the summer
• Keep watering consistent!Mulch five weeks after transplanting to retain moisture
• To help tomatoes through periods of drought, find some flat rocks and place one next to each plant
• The rocks pull up water from under the ground and keep it from evaporating into the atmosphere
• Fertilize two weeks prior to first picking and again two weeks after first picking
• If using stakes, prune plants by pinching off suckers so that only a couple stems are growing per stake
• Practice crop rotation from year to year to prevent diseases that may have over wintered

Tomato Ped Care

• The tomato is a vigorously growing plant with attractive foliage resembling the potato, its cousin
• The plants have a decided odour caused by gland hairs on the stems and leaves, which give off a strong-scented oil and stain when broken
• The fruit is borne on spurs, which develop directly from the stem
• Tomatoes should not be planted outdoors until day and night temperatures are about 55 degrees
• Low temperatures (below 55 degrees) prevent fruit set
• Soil temperatures should be at least 55-60 F to transplant
• Otherwise plants may turn yellow, become stunted and slow to bear
• Seed should be started indoors 6-8 weeks before plants are set out, or use transplants, which are widely available
