Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Phil’s One is a rare heirloom tomato variety that grows best in warm conditions and 6-8 hours of full sun daily. Plant in nutrient-rich and fertile soil, using a heat mat to help keep it warm during germination if necessary.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant Phil’s One tomatoes outdoors after the last danger of frost has passed.  Check your local area’s frost dates for a precise planting time.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in a quality seed-starting mix. Keep the temperature between 70-80 F for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 sets of true leaves, and temperatures are at least 60 F. Space plants 24 inches apart in rich, well-draining soil with full sun exposure.

How to Grow

Water the soil evenly but avoid waterlogging. Mulch to help retain moisture and reduce weed competition. Fertilize with a balanced tomato fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Prune suckers and lower leaves to encourage air circulation and focus the plant’s energy on fruit production.

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.
