Tomato Seeds,
Pink Bumble Bee

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. In most regions, this will be in late spring to early summer. Keep the soil temperatures warm throughout the growing season. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Transplant the seedlings when they are about 4-6 inches tall into a sunny location with good air circulation. Space plants 24 inches apart, and plant them deeply to encourage strong root development. As Pink Bumble Bee tomatoes are indeterminate, staking or caging will support their vining habit as they reach heights of 5-7 feet.

Place these tomatoes in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Fertilize every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 12-12-12) to support fruit production. Prune suckers regularly to promote better airflow and direct the plant’s energy towards fruiting. To prevent common issues like cracking, maintain even moisture levels, especially during fruit development.

• Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
• On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
• For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
• Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
