How to grow heirloom tomatoes

Once the last frosts have passed, tomato plants can be transplanted into the ground from mid-May onwards, to establish themselves firmly in the soil.

In the open ground, we recommend replanting the plants in rich, well-drained soil, leaving 50 cm between each plant. To encourage growth, it's important to water the plants thoroughly before planting.

Before planting tomatoes in the ground, it's best to expose them outdoors for 4 to 7 days to acclimatize them to outdoor conditions.

For more information, consult our guide to transplanting tomato plants.

How to avoid tomato diseases?

To limit the risk of fungal diseases, particularly mildew, it's important not to over-water or wet the leaves and flowers. Mulching tomato plants keeps the soil moist.

Solanaceous plants need warmth and light to produce. In cold areas, we recommend growing them under cover and watering them regularly, depending on the type of soil.

Marmande, Saint Pierre and Rose de Berne tomatoes are harvested from June to October. Pick the fruit with a spinet when ripe.
