Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the vines will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until the first frost. Because they grow vigorously, you will need to provide sturdy stakes or a trellis to support the vines.
These tomatoes have a relative maturity of 60 days from the time you transplant them into your garden. Be sure to account for the 42-56 days needed to start your seeds indoors before that transplant date.
No, the Juliet F1 is specifically bred for its high resistance to cracking. This makes them a reliable choice even in areas with fluctuating moisture levels.
Juliet F1 thrives in well-drained soil with a pH level between 5.8 and 6.6. Ensure your soil has warmed to at least 60°F before transplanting to give your seedlings the best start.
For optimal airflow and growth, space your plants 12 to 18 inches apart within the row. You should maintain about 60 inches of space between rows to allow for easy maintenance and harvesting.
The Juliet F1 produces a larger, 2-ounce fruit with an elongated grape shape that is distinct from round cherry tomatoes. It is also highly regarded for its extended shelf life and extensive disease resistance profile.
