Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Provide bright light and warmth for strong germination and healthy seedlings. Once seedlings have true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay reliably above 50°F, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet transplants in full sun in rich, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly to support even growth and reduce blossom end rot. Feed with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package directions, and provide a cage or stake to support the heavy fruit. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest fruit when it is fully colored and slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will receive 30 Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739788575030,"sku":"EDNA-562","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7784656305_onnf.jpg?v=1792115868","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/heirloom-beefsteak-tomato-seeds-30-large-slicing-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
