Tomato, Beefsteak ‘Big Beef’ (F1), Solanum lycopersicum, 25 seeds avg.

Our favorite beefsteak tomato. Full flavor, disease resistance, and earlier to ripen than many other beefsteaks. Indeterminate. Hybrid.

Planting Tips: 

  • A warm-season crop that prefers full sun.
  • Plant outdoors after danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed.
  • Transplanting is recommended.
  • Start seeds indoors 5-6 weeks before planting date.
  • Sow seeds ¼” deep and cover with soil.
  • Allow 5-7 days to germinate.
  • Space plants 24-36” apart in rows 4-6’ apart.
  • Indeterminate (climbing) tomatoes should be staked, caged, or trellised and pruned for optimal results.
  • 70 days to maturity from transplant date, continuing to fruit throughout the season.

Harvesting Tips: 

  • Harvest fruit at full color to enjoy immediately at peak ripeness or once it breaks color to finish ripening post-harvest.
