Chef's Choice Red Tomato Care  

Plant seeds or transplant seedlings outside when the temperature is consistently warm and there is no longer a threat of frost. Space the Chef's Choice Red Tomatoes two feet apart so there is room for each plant. Use a trellis or cages to support the vines and allow airflow around the foliage.

Growing Chef's Choice Red Tomato 

Select a planting site in full sun because the Chef's Choice Red Tomato needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to thrive. Plants can stand up to 5 feet tall, so select a planting site that can support large plants.

Grow the Chef's Choice Red Tomato in a container for flexible placement options on a deck or balcony. Select a container with drainage that measures 20 inches wide. Container-grown plants need water more often, so be ready to water daily during a dry spell.

Watering Chef's Choice Red Tomato 

Keep the soil consistently damp and water when the top layer is dry. Avoid overly wet conditions, as standing water or waterlogged soil is problematic.

Feeding Chef's Choice Red Tomato 

Routine fertilization supports healthy plants and an abundant harvest. Use a fertilizer intended for vegetable plants or specially for tomatoes and apply every 4 to 6 weeks.
