Growing Information

Tomatoes are in the nightshade family along with peppers and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Tomatoes do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. They grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date.

If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting tomatoes, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

Did VERY well in zone 6b / 7

Great germination, the plants looked very healthy, abundant fruit, and some of the best-tasting tomatoes I've eaten. Dark tomato flavor (Cherokee purple, black krim, etc...). This will go into my regular planting rotation.

Amazing Cog Hill flowers and Hoss Tomatoes

Unfortunately because of the storms I am going to need to replant all that I planted. I don't know where the other seeds will come up LOL. They were wash away by heavy rains.

Just getting started and every single seed that I have started have come up. Definitely off to a excellent start.
