What are the best months to plant tomatoes?

The best time to plant tomatoes is from February to March in spring. By April, the tomatoes are ripe and can be picked. In addition, the climatic conditions in each region are different, so the sowing time will also be different. For example, the Shanghai area sows in July, while the colder areas in the north sow in April.

Tomato Planting Methods

1. Seed soaking and disinfection

Soak the tomato seeds in clean water, then rub them gently in the water with your hands to remove debris, and then soak them in warm water to allow the seeds to fully absorb water and swell. After about 5-7 hours, disinfect the surface. You can dilute it with a professional disinfectant solution and soak the seeds.

2. Topdressing points

In addition to base fertilizer, tomatoes also need appropriate top dressing. The first time should be after normal growth, usually with urea as the main fertilizer. Appropriate top dressing should also be applied after the fruit is just formed. Thereafter, appropriate top dressing should be applied during each fruit growth period.

Tomato planting tips

One week after planting tomatoes, it is time to start watering for the first time, in small amounts and multiple times, so that the roots can absorb enough water. When watering, water along the roots. After that, water according to the dryness and wetness of the soil. Usually watering is done once every two weeks.
