Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Woodle Orange tomatoes thrive in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Consistent moisture is very important, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root diseases. As an indeterminate variety, the plants will need staking or caging to support the vines and fruits.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. In regions with shorter growing seasons, consider using row covers or planting in a greenhouse to extend the growing period.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix. During germination, keep the soil temperature between 70-80 F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into the garden, spacing plants 24 inches apart for good airflow.

How to Grow

Regularly prune suckers to direct the plant's energy toward fruit production. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and side-dress with compost or fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit development. Mulch around the base of the plants to keep moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests and diseases.

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.
