Tomato 'Mighty red'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mighty red 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. Mighty red needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this hybrid variety are not likely to grow true tot he parent plant.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mighty red is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
