Tomato 'Oregon spring'

Enjoys a full sun position in your garden and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Oregon spring 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. Oregon spring requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

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 Oregon spring about 42 days before your last frost date.

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 Oregon spring is a tender plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.
