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.

Seed garden label included in seed pack.

Great start

I planted just one seed and it germinated in 5 days. So, this is a great start. It is around 80 degrees in the daytime and 68 at night. It is growing in my main garden under a hoop frame with insect netting. This is the first time I am trying this tomato. I live in the tropcs where TYLCV resistance is important as well as resistance to bacterial and fungal disease. The insect netting hopefully will keep the birds out. I am looking forward to see how this turns out. If it grows well and tastes good, this may be my go to beefsteak tomato.

Hard growin'

I live in the mojave desert..Temps get well over 110*..With shade cloth, some occasional misting of the plants, I get great crops of Red Snapper tomatoes. I'm a small market grower and my customers love these tomatoes, sell out every weekend..Thanks Hoss!!

I’ve been looking for several years for a beef steak type tomato that does well down here in the heat and humidity. Nothing has come close to the red snapper. Very healthy plants and great producers. Definitely going to grow them again

STRONG PLANTS

I started these up a bit late so I'm hoping to get some production out of them before November hits. The plant itself is very robust, nicely green and the stalks are sturdy. I am certainly hoping it will grow into a strong vigorous plant with plenty of tomatoes to enjoy. I gave it four stars because I don't have tomatoes yet, but once I get some I will update.

Trying these in east - central Florida

Planted on Aug. 27, 2024 with compost and added 1 cup Pelletized Gypsum Soil Conditioner to enough soil mix for 15 one pint pots. Planted two seeds each pot in half day sun (early morning) May still be too hot here (85 - 90 degree avg.); only seven seeds came up. I'm at 4 stars on these. I will try starting more of these in mid fall when it is a bit cooler and see how they do.
