Better Boy Tomato

     Better Boy Tomatoes are an indeterminate hybrid variety that are very commonly found at nurseries and anywhere else seedling are sold in the Spring and Summer. They're resistant to some varieties of wilt and nematodes [External Reference]. The fruit they bear is usually about the size of a small orange, very red, very juicy, and they work well for all sorts of culinary dishes.




     Start as seedlings 6 weeks before your last frost.
     Do not place outside until temperatures are at least 50 degrees F or better at night*.
     Space plants out at least 3 feet apart in the garden for optimum air circulation.
     Continue treating these as you would most other Tomatoes.

* There is no point to rushing these in the Spring. Early planting will result in stunted growth. The warmer it is, the better they will do. Starting them later rather than earlier will likely result in plants that end up growing just as quickly to the same size, because they needed the extra warmth anyway. The rule of thumb is that with any tomato, you'd better off waiting for warmth rather than rushing things.
