Tomato 'Summer Cider'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Summer Cider is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Summer Cider needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Summer Cider about 42 days before your last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Summer Cider is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
