Tomato 'Tomande'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Tomande 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. Tomande needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Seed is sterile or will not come true to plant.

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 Tomande 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 Tomande is a tender plant.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Tomande about 10 days after your last frost date.

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