Growing Information

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your region’s final frost date.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors once soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F.
  • Space plants generously to accommodate tall vines and a broad spread, giving each room to develop.
  • Choose a site with full sun exposure to promote strong growth and large fruit formation.
  • Plant deeply, burying part of the stem to encourage stronger root development and improved stability.

Maintenance

  • This indeterminate variety requires strong staking or trellising to support heavy fruit clusters.
  • Plants typically grow tall with a wide spread, so allow ample space for airflow.
  • Regular pruning of lower foliage helps reduce disease pressure and improves productivity.
  • Consistent watering and mulching support steady growth through warm summer months.
  • A balanced fertilizer applied during the growing season encourages vigorous vines and abundant fruit set.

Harvest & Storage

  • Mortgage Lifter tomatoes are ready to harvest about 85–90 days from transplanting.
  • Fruits are known for their large size, often weighing several pounds per tomato.
  • Harvest when fruits are fully colored and slightly soft when gently pressed.
  • Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature and use promptly for best texture and flavor.
  • Excess harvest can be canned, frozen, or processed into sauces to extend shelf life.
