Description: 50MONEYMAKERHEIRLOOM TOMATO SEEDS Planting and Harvest Guide for MoneyMaker Tomato 1. Soil Preparation: - Select a well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0-6.8. - Remove any weeds or grass from the planting area. - Add organic matter like compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility and texture. - Work the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches to ensure good root development. 2. Seed Starting: - Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your region. - Fill seed trays or pots with seed-starting mix, and lightly water. - Plant the MoneyMaker tomato seeds about ¼ inch deep and cover with a thin layer of the seed-starting mix. - Place the seeds in a warm, well-lit area, ideally with a temperature range of 70-80°F. - Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. 3. Transplanting: - When the seedlings have grown to 6-8 inches tall and have developed their first set of true leaves, they are ready to be transplanted. - Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days. - Select a planting site with full sun exposure for at least 6 hours a day. - Dig holes that are slightly larger than the root ball of the seedlings, spacing them 24-36 inches apart. - Gently remove the seedlings from their containers and place them in the holes, ensuring they are at the same depth as they were in their containers. - Backfill the holes with soil and gently firm it around the roots. - Water the transplanted seedlings thoroughly. 4. Care and Maintenance: - Water the MoneyMaker tomato plants deeply but infrequently, aiming to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. - Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth. - Stake or cage the plants to provide support as they grow, keeping the fruit off the ground. - Side-dress the plants with a balanced organic fertilizer when they start fruiting, following the manufacturer's instructions. - Prune the lower leaves regularly to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of diseases. - Monitor the plants for pests like aphids, caterpillars, or tomato hornworms, and take appropriate measures to control them. 5. Harvesting: - MoneyMaker tomatoes typically mature in 70-80 days from transplanting. - The tomatoes are ready to be harvested when fully developed, firm, and have a deep red color. - Gently twist or cut the tomatoes from the vine, taking care not to damage the plant. - If you need to store the tomatoes, do so at room temperature until they are fully ripe, then transfer them to the refrigerator. - Enjoy your freshly harvested MoneyMaker tomatoes in salads, sandwiches, or any other culinary creations! Remember to consult your local climate and growing conditions for specific adjustments to the planting and harvest timeline.
