Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Tatuma is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 7.5 as Tatuma likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.By our calculations, you should look at sowing Tatuma about 14 days after your last frost date.
Pick them small for best flavor.
This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.An old traditional heirloom from Mexico.
