Plant your Tomatoes Late May to June 1st
(Peppers Next Week, Plant June 1-10!)
We recommend planting around memorial day to June 1st. We have gotten fabulous tomatoes almost every year this way. If you plant earlier, be prepared to warm the soil first and protect them from the cold weather and cold soil. Also prepare to protect them during the first frosts in September.
Make sure your tomatoes are hardened off and ready for full sun and wind. Plant tomatoes in good soil, preferably with good organic compost mixed in. Fox Farms sells a good potting mix with compost to amend your soil with. Dig a deep planting hole and plant the tomato as deep as possible with the bottom leaves trimmed off.
Water the planting hole deeply before and after planting. Tomatoes should be watered regularly thereafter. Irregular watering promotes blossom-end rot. We fertilize our tomatoes at planting time with organic compost and not after that. Too much fertilizer can cause lots of leaf growth and not enough tomato production.
