Ace Tomato Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Move outdoors only when the soil is warm and nights stay above 55°F.
2. Preparation: Tomatoes love "sun and food." Choose a spot with at least 8 hours of direct sun and enrich the soil with compost and a bit of bone meal.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Using a heat mat to keep the soil at 75-80°F will give you the best and fastest germination.
4. Care: Bury the stem of the plant up to the first set of leaves when transplanting to encourage a massive root system. While determinate, Ace still benefits from a small cage to keep the heavy fruit off the ground.
5. Pests and Diseases: This variety is naturally hardy. Water at the base of the plant and harvest when the tomatoes are fully red and yield slightly to the touch.
