Beefsteak tomatoes produce large, meaty, solid fruit that is slightly flattened and globe-shaped. With a mild and flavorful taste, it is great for salads and table use.
Keep tomatoes away from all members of the Brassica family: cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
Determinate - no staking required.
Plant near asparagus, basil, calendula, dill, garlic, nasturtiums, onions, parsley, thyme. Calendula serves as a deterrent for common garden pests. Asparagus acts as a repellent for nematodes. Basil is effective in repelling whiteflies, mosquitoes, spider mites, and aphids. Additionally, basil attracts bees, which enhances pollination, improves the health of tomatoes, and enhances their flavor. Dill creates an environment that makes it challenging for cutworms to lay their eggs and also supports parasitic wasps that prey on pest caterpillars. Lastly, thyme reduces the egg-laying activity of armyworms.
Start tomato seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Transplant seedlings into the garden once the soil temperature has reached 15°C (60°F). Pick a location sheltered from the wind. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist , but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

"From those seeds, germination was great! Too great! I ended up with an overabundance of tomatoes. Then the problem was not the quantity, but what to make with them and how to preserve them. Lucky I had one of those separation machines. So then, look up the recipes, prepare everything - separate, cook, add other ingredients. Gave some away, Moral of the story: The seeds will keep; don't plant so many."
