GROWING TIPS<br />

» To slow growth, grow the crop cool where possible. Once established in<br />

sale container 55-65° F will slow the crop and produce a stockier plant.<br />

» Avoid a soil pH of higher than 6.5 as micronutrient deficiencies start to<br />

show up when pH gets too high.<br />

» Watch for signs of virus, wash hands before handling the crop.<br />

» A complete micronutrient balanced fertilizer is essential for growth and<br />

best flavor.<br />

» Most Tomatoes will do best with additional calcium, or a CalMag fertilizer.<br />
