Sowing Tips:

• Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in late spring after the danger of frost has passed.
• Location: Choose a sunny area with well-drained soil; these tomatoes thrive in temperatures between 20°C to 30°C.
• Soil Preparation: Enhance soil fertility by mixing in organic compost or well-rotted manure.

• Spacing: Space plants 24-36 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and healthy growth.
• Support: Provide stakes or cages for support as the plants grow, preventing the fruit from touching the ground.

Watering and Fertilization:

• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil without waterlogging. Water at the base to prevent disease.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced organic or inorganic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and fruit production.

Care and Maintenance:

• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Pruning: Regularly prune suckers to encourage larger fruit production and improve airflow.
• Pest Control: Monitor for common pests and use organic solutions, such as neem oil, to protect your plants.
