Planting Tips:

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow them directly outdoors once the soil has warmed up in the spring.
• If starting indoors, sow seeds in trays or pots and place them in a warm, sunny location to encourage germination.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors once the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18-24 inches apart to give each plant enough room to grow.
• Yellow Pear tomatoes grow best in well-drained, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter.
• Ensure your plants get full sun for at least 6 hours per day for healthy growth and maximum fruit production.
• Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and prevent weeds from competing with the plants.
• Support your plants with stakes, cages, or trellises to promote vertical growth and keep the tomatoes off the ground.
• Fertilize regularly with an organic tomato fertilizer or compost to promote strong growth and abundant fruit.
• Harvest when the tomatoes are fully yellow and firm to the touch. These small, pear-shaped fruits will have a sweet, mild flavor when fully ripe.

Storage and Usage:

• Fresh Yellow Pear tomatoes are ideal for snacking right off the vine or adding to fresh salads.
• These sweet and colorful tomatoes can also be used as a garnish for soups, appetizers, or main dishes, adding both flavor and visual appeal.
• You can also preserve them by pickling, making salsas, or incorporating them into sauces and dressings.
• Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature to continue ripening. They can be stored in the fridge for a few days but are best enjoyed fresh for the sweetest taste.
