PLANTING:
Indoors- 6 weeks before last frost, 1/4” deep with soil temperatures 75 degrees. Liquid fertilize seedlings every 7-10 days. Transplant out 24-36” apart after last frost when soil is 55-60 degrees and night temperatures are over 45 degrees.
Harvest- When fruit is red (or color of the variety planted) and firm.
Tips- Plant in fertile soil, amended with compost, much and provide even moisture. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers as it makes a stronger roots system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
- Soil requirements: Sungold tomatoes prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These tomatoes require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Sungold tomatoes need consistent watering, especially during dry periods. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Sungold tomato seeds is in the spring, after the last frost date in your area. They can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep. Once the seedlings are ready to be transplanted outdoors, space them 24-36 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Sungold tomato seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Sungold tomatoes usually reach maturity and are ready for harvest in about 55-65 days after transplanting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Sungold tomatoes is when they are fully ripe and have a rich, golden-orange color. Harvesting in the early morning is ideal as the tomatoes are firm and cool.
- Harvesting tips: Use a pair of sharp scissors or pruners to cut the tomatoes from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. Store harvested tomatoes at room temperature and avoid refrigerating them to maintain their flavor and texture.
