How to Plant Beefsteak Tomato from Seed

Getting Started

Beefsteak tomatoes are best started indoors from seeds before transplanting them outdoors.

When to Start Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Outdoors: Only plant when temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C).

Preparing for Planting

  1. Use seed trays or small pots filled with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
  2. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and lightly cover with soil.
  3. Keep soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C).
  4. Seeds will germinate within 5-10 days.

Transplanting Seedlings

  1. When seedlings develop 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger containers.
  2. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days before transplanting.
  3. Plant 18-24 inches apart in rows with 3-4 feet between rows.
  4. Bury stems deep, covering the lower leaves to promote strong root growth.

When to Harvest

First harvest should be ready in about 70-90 days after transplanting.

Pro Tip

Beefsteak tomatoes need strong support—use sturdy stakes or cages to keep heavy fruit off the ground. Prune lower leaves and suckers to improve airflow and focus energy on fruit production.

Bonus: For the juiciest tomatoes, water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root growth!

Growth Requirements

Light:

Soil:

  • Prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8.
  • Adding organic compost and aged manure improves soil quality.

Watering:

  • Requires consistent watering, about 1-2 inches per week.
  • Avoid overwatering or underwatering to prevent fruit cracking and diseases.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Thrives in warm temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C).
  • Sensitive to frost, so plant after the last frost date.

Fertilization:

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time.
  • Side-dress with potassium and phosphorus to encourage fruit development.
Maintenance

Staking & Pruning:

  • Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support heavy fruit.
  • Prune suckers (side shoots) to improve air circulation and fruit production.

Watering:

  • Water deeply and consistently, preferably in the morning.
  • Use mulch to retain soil moisture and prevent weeds.

Fertilization:

  • Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer once flowering begins to promote fruit growth.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leaf growth over fruiting.

Harvesting Beefsteak Tomatoes

    Ready for harvest 70-90 days after transplanting.
    Fruit should be firm, evenly colored, and slightly soft to the touch.
  2. Harvesting Tips:

    Handle carefully to avoid bruising.
  3. Storage & Usage:
    Store at room temperature for the best flavor.
    Can be refrigerated for longer shelf life, but this may reduce flavor.
