Tomato 'Iron Lady F1'

While this variety is blight resistant, you can ensure extra protection by planting it in a separate spot from more disease prone varieties, and mulching to prevent soil splashing on the leaves (which can spread disease.)

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Iron Lady F1 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.

A seedling heat mat can help speed germination.
Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this hybrid variety are not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Iron Lady F1 about 49 days before your last frost date.

Removing the lower sets of leaves and burying the stem will cause tomato plants to root. You can add a newspaper or toilet paper collar to prevent cutworm damage.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Iron Lady F1 is a tender plant.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Iron Lady F1 about 0 days after your last frost date.
