Here is my step by step guide to growing from seedling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Choose a <strong>sunny or part shade <\/strong>spot in your garden that is at least <strong>1.5 feet wide<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Rake back any mulch on your soil.<\/li><li>Add a handful of <strong>pelleted chicken manure, compost or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-use-worm-castings-for-seedlings\/\">worm castings<\/a> as fertilizer.<\/li><li>Dig through the fertilizer gently with a small fork or spade into the <strong>top 5 inches of soil<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Make a small hole the size of the pot<\/strong> in the soil and place the soil into a spare pot or bucket.<\/li><li>Remove the tomato plant from the pot and <strong>place it in the hole<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Backfill the plant with soil<\/strong> removed, place any excess soil in another garden bed or in your worm farm.<\/li><li>Surround the spinach with <strong>straw or sugar cane mulch.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Water in well<\/strong> to settle the soil around the plant roots.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to sow Beefsteak tomato seeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes grow well from seed. They need to be sown 5mm deep in early spring after the last frost. They will sprout in 5-10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Choose a <strong>sunny <\/strong>spot in your garden bed, raised garden or pot.<\/li><li>Rake back any mulch on your soil.<\/li><li>Fill your pot with <strong>seed raising mix<\/strong> leaving \u00bd inch space at the top of the pot.<\/li><li>Scatter the beefsteak tomato seeds on top of the seed raising mix.<\/li><li>Sprinkle a 5mm layer of <strong>seed raising mix over the tomato seeds.<\/strong><\/li><li>Gently <strong>water the seeds<\/strong> with the mist setting on your garden hose.<\/li><li>Keep the seeds moist for the first <strong>weeks, seeds will emerge in 5-10 days.<\/strong><\/li><li>Transplant the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/why-are-my-seedling-leaves-pointing-up-6-reasons-and-solutions\/\">seedlings once they have grown their second set of leaves<\/a> to a pot, raised garden bed or vegetable garden.<\/li><li>Leave a 1.5 foot gap between each plant to allow room for them to grow.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes are technically a fruit as they contain seeds. The plant grows flowers that need to be pollinated by insects for the fruit to set. Although tomatoes are technically fruit we use them like a vegetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/why-tomato-plants-grow-tall\/\">tomatoes are one of the largest tomatoes and can grow up to 8 feet tall<\/a>. They grow large fruit that can grow up to 2 pounds. They are delicious and are great in sandwiches. Some of the largest fruit can cover a whole piece of bread with 1 slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes will need to be staked to keep the stems from falling over, particularly as they start setting fruit. Use a hardwood stake and natural ties to keep the plant stable and stop the stem from snapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3574465_1280-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3574465_1280-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3574465_1280-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3574465_1280-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3574465_1280-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Beefsteak <a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-increase-tomato-fruit-size-8-easy-ways\/\">tomatoes grow large fruit<\/a> and stems so will need to be staked.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficulty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes are an easy large tomato to start with if you have the room. Small, fast growing tomatoes like cherry will be easier to start with but once you have had success, you will quickly want to move to growing a beautiful big Beefsteak tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak Tomato seedlings are an affordable way to start your tomato patch and will give the greatest chance of success. Choose individual seedlings from $5, 6 packs are around $7. Seeds start from $1.50 for 80 seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spacing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Space plants 1.5 feet apart and space rows 2 feet apart. Make sure you give each plant the space to spread their leaves and still get air flow. This will help to prevent leaf diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant Beefsteak tomatoes in full sun in a raised garden bed, pot or vegetable garden. If you live in an area that gets very hot summers, you may need to put up temporary shade in the hottest part of the day to prevent the skin of the tomatoes from burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way is to drape shade-cloth over the stakes when the tomatoes are in afternoon sun and then remove it the next morning so they get the morning light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant seedlings in early spring after the last frost. Plant seeds at the end of winter in a greenhouse to protect from the cold weather and maintain humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soil type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes are heavy feeders so plant them in well-draining soil, rich with organic matter and improved with aged cow manure. I like to add 1-2 handfuls of pelleted chicken manure in the soil before planting and then again after 4 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular, consistent watering will keep Beefsteak tomatoes well and prevent the fruit from splitting. Check them regularly in the summer months to make sure the soil has not dried out. They may need watering every day when the weather is hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mulch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mulch Beefsteak tomatoes seedlings with straw, hay, lucerne or sugar cane mulch. Top up the mulch after 2-3 months as it breaks down. Keep the mulch depth to 2-3 inches to keep soil moisture in for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fertilizer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes grow best when the soil is improved first with fertilizer like aged cow manure, pelleted chicken manure and liquid fertilizer like fish emulsion. Stop adding fertilizer when the flowers form and allow the fruit to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find that you are getting lots of leaf growth and no flowers, add a natural fertilizer that is higher in potassium to stimulate flower growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best way to grow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes grow well in a container or in a garden bed supported by a strong stake or tomato cage. Rotate your tomato growing location each year to avoid diseases living in the soil and infecting your plants the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3598567_1280-1024x694.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3598567_1280-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3598567_1280-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3598567_1280-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/tomato-3598567_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Improve the soil with compost, aged cow manure and worm castings before planting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growth type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes are large growing plants and will grow 8 foot long stems. Train 1-2 stems up a stake and tie them up as they grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Companion plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plant Beefsteak tomatoes with chives, basil, parsley, marigolds and borage. These plants will help to keep away pests and the flowers will attract pollinating insects. This will help your tomatoes to set more fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Harvesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvest tomatoes when they are almost completely red. They can be picked slightly underripe, leaving the stem on and left to finish ripening in your kitchen. This can help to stop bugs chewing on your tomatoes just before they are ready to pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes can also be left on the plant until they are completely red, picked and eaten straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beefsteak tomatoes great cut up in salads, sandwiches. They also work great in sauces with the skin removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e6f7f0\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tomatoes\">Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomatoes-grow-in-4-hours-of-sun\/\">Will tomatoes grow in 4 hours of sun? | Tips for success<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomato-seedlings-recover-from-sunscald\/\">Will tomato seedlings recover from sunscald? | 4 Ways to know<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomato-seedlings-recover-from-sunscald\/\">Will tomato seedlings recover from sunscald? | 4 Ways to know<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/mulching-tomato-plants-with-newspaper-6-easy-steps\/\">Mulching tomato plants with newspaper | 6 Easy Steps<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-seedlings-not-growing\/\">Tomato seedlings not growing | 7 Top Causes and Cures<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-keep-mice-off-tomato-plants\/\">How to keep mice off tomato plants | Top 7 extraordinary solutions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-grow-beefsteak-tomatoes\/\">How to grow Beefsteak Tomatoes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-seedlings-turning-yellow-8-reasons-and-easy-solutions\/\">Tomato seedlings turning yellow | 8 Reasons and easy solutions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/leggy-tomato-seedlings\/\">Leggy Tomato Seedlings | How to solve this problem<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-sprouts-wilting\/\">Tomato Sprouts Wilting | Causes + How to Fix it<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beefsteak tomatoes are a large tomato that grows easily from seedling.
