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

Watering | Tomato plants need at least an inch of water per week; so water them well, especially during dry spells. |
Soil | Choose well drained, deep and loamy soil. Plan on providing fertile, organically enriched soil with a pH between 6.2 and 6.8 for best flavour. Blossom-end rot is due to calcium deficiency. Lime the tomato soil at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 square feet. |
