Growing Tips
Start indoors 5?7 weeks before transplanting; provide strong light to prevent leggy seedlings.
Transplant only when nights stay above about 10�C; bury seedlings deep for stronger root growth.
Water at the base (not overhead) and avoid swings between dry and soaked soil to reduce cracking and blossom end rot.
Disease notes: in late summer, cool nights and damp foliage can trigger late blight; good airflow, pruning, and protected growing help.
If growing outdoors where late-season disease is common, choose varieties with Late Blight resistance; in protected growing, Leaf Mold resistance is especially valuable.
Growing tip: For best results, plant at the recommended time for your climate and provide consistent moisture until seedlings are established.
