How to grow Tomato 'Bonnie Select'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Bonnie Select 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 Bonnie Select likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Growing Bonnie Select from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this (hybrid) variety are not likely to grow true to the parent 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 Bonnie Select about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Bonnie Select

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 Bonnie Select is a tender plant.

Harvesting Bonnie Select

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