Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed and the temperatures stay above 60 F. Check your local area’s frost dates to determine the best planting time. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix indoors, keeping the soil temperature between 70-80 F during germination. Harden off seedlings for about a week before transplanting. Space plants 24 inches apart, with rows 3-4 feet apart. Use cages or stakes to support the plants.

How to Grow

Prepare the soil by enriching it with compost or organic matter. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer. Prune suckers to enhance airflow and focus energy on fruit development.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.

What gardeners are saying

  • Heavy producer: Outyields most large slicers, with fruit until frost.

  • Keeps setting in heat: Kept fruiting through hot, dry summers that stalled other heirlooms.

  • Mild, low-acid flavor: Meaty and low in acid; sweet to some, bland to others.

  • Slow to start: Takes a while to set the first fruit, then produces in waves.

  • Heads up: Ripens pale and hard to read; pick by feel, once it softens.
