What is the best season to plant tomatoes?

When planting tomatoes, people usually choose to sow them. You can first grow seedlings in paper cups, or you can directly sow the tomato seeds in pots. Both methods are feasible. After sowing, cover the tomatoes with 1 cm thick soil. If the temperature is right, they will germinate in 5 days.

Tomato Planting Time

Tomatoes are suitable for planting in spring, autumn and winter. Spring tomatoes are sown and seedlings are raised in February. If they are planted in the open field at this time, frostbite must be prevented. Autumn and winter tomatoes are sown in July and August, and can be transplanted in August and September. Winter and spring tomatoes are sown in November to early February, and transplanted in January and February of the following year.

Tomato Growing Season

Tomatoes are a vegetable variety that matures and is harvested and put on the market in autumn from July to September. The peak production period is from October to December. The time to market varies in different seasons and cultivation periods, but July to September are the general months. The Pearl River Basin may not start harvesting until November, which is also normal.

Tomato Planting Tips

During the growth process, pay attention to topdressing to promote the growth of tomatoes. Topdressing can be combined with watering. When the tomatoes are planted 7-10 days later, topdressing is needed. Generally, 500 kg of farmyard manure is required per mu, which can promote the accelerated growth of tomato seedlings. It is also necessary to spray foliar fertilizer on tomatoes in time.
