Be sure to check out our Tomato Growing Guide for tips & tricks on being successful in growing tomatoes at home.

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.

First of all, the seed quality and germination rate are exceptional. I know that any seeds I get from Hoss are going to be among the best. This is my first year growing Lemon Boy+ and I think I prefer regular Lemon Boy. LB+ tomatoes taste the same but are smaller for whatever reason. There are certainly a lot more flowers per cluster and maybe that is why. I will always grow Lemon Boy because it is one of the best tasting tomatoes, but I just do not see an advantage growing Lemon Boy +.
