Tomato 'Belle f1'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Belle f1 is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Belle f1 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. Saved seed from hybrid varieties (such as this one) may not grow true to the parent plant.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between Tomato plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

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

Belle f1 is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in early summer.
