Growing Tips

Transplant your seed start into a larger container or garden bed once it has developed several sets of true leaves, has been gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions, and temperatures are suitable.

Provide sturdy support as the plant grows, water consistently at soil level, and mulch around the base to help retain moisture.

Louisiana Growing Tip: Tomatoes thrive during our spring and fall growing seasons. Protect young plants from frost and provide good airflow to help them handle our humid climate.
