Tomato 'Guido'

Guido likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Guido 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. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 5.5 and 7.5 as Tomato is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

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 Guido about 42 days before your last frost date.

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

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

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Guido about 14 days after your last frost date.

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