What you need to know to Plant & Grow As an indeterminate variety, this plant requires staking and will continue to produce until the first heavy frost. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost date. Use a peat moss-based growing mix. Germination: The temperature of the seeding mix should be 21 degrees C to 24 degrees C for prompt germination. Seedling Care: When the seedlings are 4 cm high, transplant each into individual pots, reducing the temperature to 15 degrees C to 18 degrees C until planting outside. Transplanting: After hardening off, transplant into well-drained organic soil in late May. Space the plants 90 cm apart (for indeterminate varieties). Culture: Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight, and a steady supply of water. Staking is required for these indeterminate vines. Apply the water to the soil rather than showering down over the plants. Soil Management: It is very important to keep plants evenly watered as fluctuations in available soil moisture can lead to problems like fruit cracking and blossom end rot. Apply a mulch of straw around plants to protect them from soil-borne diseases and help conserve moisture. Rotate the crop position in the garden every year. Dig out and discard diseased plants; do not compost. Why Candyland Red Currant Tomato Seeds belong in Your Garden If you want a truly spectacular tomato experience, the Candyland Red is a must-have.
