Growing Tips

1. Plant Grafted Seedlings Carefully: When planting grafted seedlings, ensure the graft union (the point where the rootstock and scion meet) is above the soil line to avoid rootstock re-sprouting.
2. Start Indoors or Transplant: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or use grafted seedlings for transplanting into your garden after the danger of frost has passed.
3. Provide Support: Use cages, stakes, or trellises to support the plant as it grows and bears fruit, as this variety can produce a high yield that may require extra support.
4. Maintain Consistent Moisture: Water the plants regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting, but ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid root rot.
5. Harvest at Peak Ripeness: Harvest tomatoes when they are fully ripe, deep red, and firm to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
