Sow 'Chef's Choice' seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) to encourage rapid germination in 5-10 days. Prick out seedlings when they are 4 inches (10cm) tall, then acclimatise them gradually before transplanting to the ground or pots after the last frost.
Plant the young plants in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Space them 60 to 90 cm apart and install a stake or cage to support their indeterminate shape and optimize their fruiting. Bury part of the stem to strengthen their rooting.
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and apply a potassium-rich fertilizer to encourage generous production. Harvest tomatoes when they reach full color and maturity, revealing the full diversity and richness of this mix.
The 'Chef's Choice' mix is perfect for gardeners looking for tasty and aesthetic varieties, offering a varied and colorful harvest that will transform every meal into a unique culinary experience.
