Planting Tips:
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors once the soil temperature is consistently warm.
- For indoor planting, use seed trays or small pots in a warm, sunny location to encourage germination.
- Once the seedlings are strong enough and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden or containers, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.
- Valiant tomatoes prefer fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
- Ensure that the plants receive full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day for optimal growth.
- Water the plants regularly, making sure the soil stays evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching around the plants will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- This determinate variety benefits from support, such as stakes, cages, or tomato ladders, to keep the plant upright and the fruit off the ground.
- Fertilize regularly with organic compost or a balanced fertilizer to support steady growth and maximize fruit production.
- Harvest when the tomatoes are fully ripe, deep red, and firm to the touch.
