Planting Instructions

1. Starting Seeds: Begin seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a high-quality seed-starting mix, planting seeds 1/4 inch deep. Lightly cover them to promote germination.
2. Watering and Light: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Place the seed trays in a warm, sunny location or under grow lights, providing 6-8 hours of light daily to encourage strong seedling growth.
3. Transplanting: Once seedlings reach 4-6 inches tall and have two sets of true leaves, start hardening them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. After a week, transplant them outdoors.

Outdoor Planting

• Location: Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to ensure adequate air circulation and growth.
• Support: Use stakes or cages to support the plants and keep the large fruits off the ground, preventing damage and disease.

Care Tips

• Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer during the growing season for optimal growth.

Harvesting

Beef tomatoes are ready to harvest 75-85 days after planting. Pick them when they are fully ripe, with a deep color and a slight softness to the touch. Enjoy the large, vibrant fruits that add beauty and flavor to your garden.
