Growing tips

Conditions of germination:

depth of sowing: 5 mm

optimal temperatures of germination: 20 to 30ºC

time for germination: 7 to 14 days

When to sow:

indoor sowing 6 to 8 weeks before the last date in your area

Sowing technique: in pocket

Inside the same hole, sow 3 to 5 seeds spaced about 1 to 2 cm apart; when the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, keep all the plants if space is available or keep only the best plants. Transplant into individual containers while waiting for transplanting into the garden.

Transplanting in the garden:

When the soil is warmed and the average nighttime temperature stays above 10 ºC.

Distance in the garden:

between plants: 45 to 60 cm

between rows: 75 to 90 cm

Height of the plants: 120 to 150 cm

Soil: rich and well drained

Water: regular watering until the fruit begins to ripen, then watering at intervals to encourage ripening and not to diminish the flavor of the fruit

Exposure: full sun

Days to harvest (after transplanting): 70 to 80 days

Specificity:

Indeterminate (climbing) plants continue to grow and produce fruit all season while determinate varieties generally produce their fruit within a defined period of time and have a bushy habit.

Recommended support (stake or tomato cage).

Pot culture possible in containers of about 10 gallons/45 liters, 45 cm wide and 45 cm deep.
