Planting Guide:

1. Soil Secrets: Choose a fertile, well-draining soil, enhanced with organic compost for best results.
2. Seed Sowing: Bury seeds about 1/4 inch deep, ensuring a spacing of about 24-36 inches between plants for ample growth room.
3. Sunny Spots: These tomatoes thrive in full sun, ensuring healthy growth and optimal flavor development.
4. Watering Wisdom: Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses are preferred.
5. Harvesting Highlights: Harvest when the tomato showcases its rich pink hues, while retaining some of its characteristic dark striping.

As with most of the tomato varieties that are to be grown in Alaska, these need to be started indoors in late March or early April. Transplant date outdoors in the second week of June.

Locate the warmest microclimate available and avoid extensive overhead watering.

Start seeds indoor towards the end of March and set outside the first or second week of June in the far North. Make sure to “pot up” frequently to avoid leggy plants.

Sow seeds 1/4″ deep and use a heat mat to speed germination.

Minimum 10 seeds per packet
