Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. After the last frost, place plants outdoors for a few hours at a time, progressing to a full day, to harden before transplanting. Plant in a sunny location with well drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil; and water regularly to prevent blossom end rot and fruit cracking. Reduce or stop watering when fruit begins to ripen. With support from stakes or cages, these fast growing vines will produce flavorful bright red, ripe clusters of 4-inch fruits in about 60-days after transplanting.

Compact & Determinate Oregon Spring Tomato vines are ideal for growers with limited garden spaces as well as planters, containers and raised beds.

A Healthy Snack: Delicious, ripe, red tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
