Growing Chef's Choice White Hybrid Tomatoes in the Vegetable Garden
For Chef's Choice White Hybrid tomatoes, begin the planting process indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date. Sow the seeds at a depth of 0.25 inches in a well-draining, loose soil mix. Maintain a germination temperature of 65-85°F. Once the seedlings have developed sufficient strength and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 24-36 inches apart in rows with a spacing of 36 inches. Given its indeterminate nature, provide support such as a cage or trellis to accommodate the sprawling growth throughout the season.
Ensure the soil is slightly acidic (6.2 to 6.8) and moisture-retaining. Manage nitrogen levels to avoid excessive foliage production. Monitor for common pests like the tomato hornworm and diseases such as powdery mildew. Regularly check plants for pest damage and maintain a consistent watering schedule, avoiding overwatering. Consider companion planting with basil to deter pests and enhance flavor.
Harvesting Chef's Choice White Hybrid Tomatoes
As an indeterminate variety, Chef's Choice White Hybrid tomatoes will continue producing throughout the season. Harvest the 6-7 oz white and yellow tomatoes when they reach the desired size and a sweet flavor. These larger, round tomatoes are ideal for salads, slicing, and fresh eating. To pick, gently twist the fruit until it separates from the vine, taking care not to damage nearby developing tomatoes.
