Growing Tips
Queen of the Night tomatoes thrive in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil. Choose soil that is slightly acidic to neutral and keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged. Being an indeterminate variety, the plants grow tall and require staking or caging for support. Regular pruning helps focus energy on fruit production. Learn More >>
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures consistently exceed 60 F. Usually this means planting in late spring or early summer, but it’s best to check your local area’s frost dates.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil at a temperature of 70-80 F. Germination typically takes 7-14 days. Transplant seedlings about 24 inches apart in rows spaced 3-4 feet apart, and remember to harden them off before moving them outdoors.
How to Grow
Mulch plants to retain soil moisture and prevent weed growth. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. Prune lower leaves and suckers to enhance air circulation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Monitor for pests like aphids and tomato hornworms, and use organic methods for pest management.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and crossing isn’t likely; separating by 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, dark place, and good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
