Growing Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS Tomatoes in the Vegetable Garden
To grow Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS tomatoes, initiate the planting process indoors 7-9 weeks before the last spring frost date. Sow seeds at a depth of 0.25 inches in well-draining, loose, and slightly acidic soil. Maintain a germination temperature of 65-85°F. Once germinated (7-10 days), and the risk of frost has passed, transplant the seedlings outdoors, spacing them 24-36 inches apart in rows with a 36-inch gap between rows. Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS, an indeterminate variety, will continue to produce tomatoes throughout the season.
Throughout the growing process, maintain indeterminate vines by pruning for better air circulation, reducing disease risk, and focusing energy on fruit production. Staking or caging is advisable to support vigorous growth. Companion planting with basil, marigold, or nasturtium can help deter pests. Consistent watering, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, is crucial for optimal flavor development.
Harvesting Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS Tomatoes
Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS tomatoes are ready for harvest around 90 days from transplant. Identify maturity by the green color, and the tomatoes should have a tangy, sweet flavor. Harvest by gently twisting or cutting the tomatoes from the vine. Being indeterminate, this variety allows for continuous harvesting throughout the growing season.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"To boost the tangy-sweet flavor profile of Chef's Choice Green Hybrid AAS tomatoes, try incorporating calcium-rich amendments into the soil during planting or as a top dressing during the growing season. Calcium contributes to cell wall strength, reducing the risk of blossom end rot—a common issue in tomatoes. Crushed eggshells, gypsum, or agricultural lime are excellent sources of calcium. This additional mineral support enhances fruit quality, ensuring your harvest is not only visually appealing but also exceptionally delicious."
