cultivation advice 

  • Choose well-drained, loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
  • Incorporate organic matter like compost to improve soil structure and fertility.
  • Start Ola Polka tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Transplant seedlings to the garden after the danger of frost has passed, ensuring proper spacing (18-24 inches apart).
  • Provide full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day to encourage healthy growth and fruit development.
  • Water consistently, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Use mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer during planting and then feed the plants regularly throughout the growing season.
  • Stake or cage the tomato plants to provide support as they grow and bear fruit, preventing branches from breaking.
  • Remove suckers (side shoots) to encourage better air circulation and focus energy on fruit production.
  • Prune lower leaves to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of diseases.
  • Monitor for common tomato pests such as aphids, hornworms, or whiteflies.
  • Use natural predators, like ladybugs, or employ organic pest control methods.
  • Water at the base of the plants to minimize fungal diseases.
  • Rotate crops annually to reduce the risk of soil-borne diseases.
  • Harvest tomatoes when they reach their full, ripe color.
  • Pick regularly to encourage continuous fruit production.
  • Plant tomatoes alongside companion plants like basil, marigolds, or nasturtiums to deter pests.
