How to Grow Agrimax Round Tomatoes:
Planting Location: Round tomatoes need full sun to grow strong and produce flavorful fruit. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil, ideally with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-6.8). Raised beds or containers are perfect for smaller spaces.
Sowing the Seeds: Start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep in seed trays or pots, keeping them warm and moist until they germinate (5-10 days). Once seedlings are large enough and temperatures are consistently warm, transplant them outdoors.
Transplanting: When transplanting seedlings, space them 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for good air circulation and healthy growth. Bury the plants deeper than they were in their pots to encourage strong root development.
Watering: Tomatoes require regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water the plants deeply at the base to prevent wetting the leaves, which can cause diseases. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting to provide the essential nutrients. As the plants grow, side-dress them with additional compost or a tomato-specific fertilizer to encourage strong growth and fruit production.
Pruning and Support: Provide support with tomato cages, stakes, or trellises to keep the plants upright and help prevent the fruit from touching the ground. Remove any suckers to focus the plant’s energy on fruit production and to improve airflow.
Weeding and Mulching: Keep the growing area free of weeds to prevent competition for nutrients and moisture. Mulch around the base of the plants to maintain consistent soil temperature, retain moisture, and reduce weed growth.
Harvesting: Round tomatoes are ready for harvest when they are fully ripe, firm to the touch, and have turned a rich red color. Gently twist or cut the fruit from the vine to avoid damaging the plant.
Storage: Fresh round tomatoes can be stored at room temperature until fully ripe, then used immediately or stored in the fridge for a few days. For longer-term storage, consider canning or freezing the tomatoes.
