Growing Tips
Phil's Two tomato grows best in locations with plenty of sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct light daily. Plant it in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil to support healthy vines and productive fruiting. Keep the soil evenly moist, taking care to water at the base to prevent moisture-related diseases. Although it has a semi-determinate growth habit, the vines will benefit from staking or caging to provide stability and ensure the fruit stays off the ground.  Learn More >>
When to Grow
Begin seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Once frost risk has passed and the soil has sufficiently warmed, transplant the seedlings into your garden or large containers. This mid-season variety takes about 75-80 days from transplanting to produce its distinctive yellow-orange fruits.
How to Sow and Plant
Start Phil's Two tomato seeds in a seed tray or small pots, burying them about 1/8 inch deep in a sterile seed-starting mix. Keep the soil warm, ideally between 70-80 F, to encourage quick germination. After seedlings develop their first set of true leaves, transplant them into larger containers. Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting them in the garden, spacing them 24 inches apart.
How to Grow
Fertilize the plants at the time of transplanting with a balanced formula, and side-dress with additional nutrients as the season progresses. Removing suckers—small shoots that grow between the main stem and branches—will help direct more of the plant’s energy toward fruit development. Keep an eye out for common pests and diseases and take action quickly if problems arise. The fruits are ready to harvest when their color shifts to a vibrant yellow-orange, and they feel slightly soft to the touch.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and crossing isn’t likely; separating by at least 25 feet is sufficient for pure seed, except for the potato-leaf varieties like Brandywine.
- 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 1-2 days is recommended.
- Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, and good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
