- Watering requirements: Tomato plants need consistent watering, about 1 to 1.5 inches per week. It's important to water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting season: The best time to plant giant heirloom tomato seeds is in the spring after the last frost date in your area. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 24 to 36 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Giant heirloom tomatoes generally take about 75 to 85 days to reach maturity from the time of planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest is when the tomatoes are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch, usually in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a small stem attached. Store harvested tomatoes at room temperature and avoid refrigeration to maintain their flavor and texture.
