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. Tomatoes can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.

Did not grow

Planted 10 seed. Waited 1 week and planted 10 more. All in seed starter tray with seed starting mix. 1 seed sprouted and then died. Never seen this before. Usually Hoss seed grow quickly with high germination rate. Not mine. Good luck to everyone else.

Great taste

This is my first year growing Cherokee Carbon tomatoes. So far I haven’t had any disease or insects issues. My mother started the seeds. Good germination rate. The taste is excellent. I actually think I like the flavor better than the regular Cherokee Purple. Serval fruits per plant also. With the regular CP heirloom I would only get 2-3 fruits per plant. The seeds may seem expensive next to other varieties but, it’s a greater payout. I will be most definitely planting these next year.
