Tomato 'Belgian giant'

May require a cage or staking.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Belgian giant is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Belgian giant 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.

Look to ensure a distance 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong roots.

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

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

Despite the name, this tomato does not trace its roots back to Belgium, but rather to Ohio, United States.
