Sungold Tomato Plant - USDA Organic

1. Planting: To grow Organic Sungold Tomatoes successfully, start by choosing a sunny location in your garden that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Space your plants about 18–24 inches apart to allow for their indeterminate growth. Amend your soil with organic matter for the best results, and ensure that the planting hole is deep enough to accommodate the root system. Transplant your young plants after any chance of frost has passed.

2. Watering: Consistent moisture is key when it comes to Sungold tomatoes. Water deeply once or twice a week, aiming for the soil to remain evenly moist but not soggy. Use mulch around the base to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Avoid overhead watering, as this can promote fungal diseases.

3. Pruning: As an indeterminate variety, regular pruning will help maintain the plant’s vigor and productivity. Pinch back suckers that develop in the leaf axils to encourage better air circulation and focus the plant’s energy on producing fruit. Aim for a manageable size to ensure easy access to the fruit.

4. Fertilizing: Feed your Sungold tomatoes with a balanced organic fertilizer once every 4–6 weeks, starting when plants are established and beginning to set fruit. Look for fertilizers higher in phosphorus and potassium to encourage fruit production. Make sure to follow the recommended guidelines on the packaging for best results.
