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.

My best producer

Big beef Plus was our best producing tomato last year. So, I bought more seed from Hoss. I love this company. Seeds are always superior quality, they offer lots of hybrids, and their shipping is faster than anyone else.

Seeds

I’m very pleased with all the purchases that I have made very fast shipping which I appreciate all seeds had a very good germination will be making all my seed purchases from Hoss in the future and also there U Tube videos are full of good information and very informative and helpful.

It’s too early to tell, but my hopes are high.

Based on the germination rate of the broccoli seeds, 100%, I recently planted, I am looking forward to planting tomatoes indoors next week looking for a mid April transplanting. Will update my germination rate and look of the seedlings in a few weeks.

Grow these every year!

I have ordered all my garden seeds through Hoss for the last 5 years. Every year I like to try at least 1 new tomato variety- gotta try them to find my favorites…Big Beef was in my first ever order from Hoss, and I have ordered these every year since. They are my favorite indeterminate variety so far! I live in Ohio, zone 6, and these tomatoes have had consistent germination, and been prolific producers every year with fantastic flavor! I make sure to plant this specific variety every year. Big Beef hasn’t let me down yet! Some of my other favorites include Tachi, Bella Rosa and Mortgage Lifter ( some of those varieties are probably in the mix of ripe tomato pictures ) 😊
