Tomato Beefsteak Planting Guide

Tomato Beefsteak 🍅

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Beefsteak tomatoes need full sun to thrive 🌞. Choose a sunny location with good air circulation to reduce the risk of disease.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Tomatoes prefer rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Add compost or organic matter to improve soil fertility 🌾.

3. Planting Instructions:
Transplant seedlings once the soil is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Plant them 2-3 feet apart to allow plenty of space for the large fruit 🍅.

4. Watering Requirements:
Tomatoes need consistent moisture, especially when they start setting fruit 💧. Water deeply and regularly, making sure to water at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry.

5. Germination Time:
Tomato seeds typically take 7-10 days to germinate ⏳. Be patient and keep the soil consistently moist during the germination phase.

6. Ongoing Care:
Prune to remove any dead or diseased leaves and support the plant with stakes or cages 🍅. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks and regularly check for pests.
