Soil & Water: Tomatoes love soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5 to 7.0. Soak the soil 4 to 6'' deep at 7 to day intervals. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting foliage when watering.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2'' after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight. Once transplanted, provide full sun, except in hot climates where some afternoon shade is recommended.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet. Cut or twist off while supporting the vine. Tomatoes are best eaten fresh, within 3 days of picking; refrigerating tomatoes causes them to lose flavor, but sauce made from fresh tomatoes freezes well.
