Planting and Growing Instructions

Soil Preparation

Coustralee Tomatoes thrive in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.0-6.8). Add compost or organic matter to improve soil fertility.

Planting

• Starting Indoors: Begin seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
• Transplanting Outdoors: Once seedlings are 6-8 inches tall and after the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.

Watering

Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of fungal diseases.

Light and Temperature

Coustralee Tomatoes need full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. They grow best in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C).

Staking and Pruning

Support the vines with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep the heavy fruit off the ground. Prune the lower leaves and suckers to encourage airflow and focus energy on fruit production.

Fertilizing

Use a balanced fertilizer or one designed for tomatoes to ensure healthy growth and abundant fruiting. Apply fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Harvesting

Harvest Coustralee Tomatoes when they are fully ripe, displaying a deep red color. Gently twist the fruit off the vine to avoid damage.
