How to grow Tomato 'Green Grape'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Green Grape likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Green Grape 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. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Green Grape likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Growing Green Grape from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 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 Green Grape about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Green Grape

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

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 Green Grape is a tender plant.

Harvesting Green Grape

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