Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Plant in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Use nutrient-rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring consistent moisture to prevent stress. Use stakes or cages to support the plant's indeterminate growth and keep the large, hollow fruits off the ground.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. Refer to a frost date chart to determine the best timing for your location.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil temperature between 70-80 F during germination. You can use a heat mat to warm up the soil if necessary. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting. Space plants 24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Maintain even soil moisture by watering at the base, and avoiding wet foliage to reduce disease risks. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer at planting. Prune suckers and train the plant to grow on a sturdy support to maximize airflow and fruit production. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and control weeds.

How to Save
  • 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.
FAQ

What kind of dishes are Get Stuffed tomatoes best suited for?
These tomatoes are ideal for stuffing and baking due to their hollow cavity. They pair well with savory fillings like quinoa, breadcrumbs, vegetables, or seasoned meats.

Do Get Stuffed tomatoes need staking?
As an indeterminate variety, they continue growing throughout the season and require staking or caging to manage their size and keep the fruits off the ground.

Can I grow Get Stuffed tomatoes in regions with short growing seasons?
Yes, but starting seeds indoors and using season extenders like row covers or cloches can help ensure a full harvest.
