Land Preparation:

Tomatoes need well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.5-7.5).

Test your soil and adjust pH with lime or sulfur if needed.
Add organic matter like compost for better fertility and drainage.
Deep till (10-12 inches) to loosen the soil for root growth, use a rototiller or spade.
Create furrows 1-2 inches deep, spaced 2-4 feet apart for row planting.
Water the area thoroughly a few days before planting.
Lightly rake the soil surface for a smooth planting bed.
Add balanced fertilizer as per package instructions.
Use black plastic mulch to warm the soil and suppress weeds.
For raised beds, ensure they are at least 12 inches deep with a well-draining soil mix.

Sowing

Fill your seedling trays or pots with excellent quality seedling compost.
Aim for spacing of Nunhems Sampurna tomato Seeds about 2-3 cm (about 1.18 in) apart & lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost. This should be about 0.5 cm (about 0.2 in) thick.
Cover the tomato seedlings with transparent plastic wrap or a humidity dome to maintain moisture.
When the Nunhems Sampurna Tomato seedlings have emerged and developed their first true leaves, it is time to thin them out. This means removing weaker seedlings to give the stronger ones more space to grow. Use scissors to snip off the weaker seedlings at the base.
Continue to care for your tomato seedlings until they are ready to be transplanted outdoors. This will be around 6-8 weeks (about 2 months) after sowing, depending on the variety and your climate.

Transplanting:

Dig planting holes: Dig holes slightly deeper and wider than the containers your seedlings are currently in. Space the holes according to the recommended spacing for the Nunhems Sampurna Tomato variety, usually 18-24 inches apart.
Removing seedlings: Gently remove the seedlings from their containers. Use a spoon or trowel to loosen the soil around the roots if necessary.

Planting: Carefully place each seedling in a prepared hole, burying it slightly deeper than it was in its container. This encourages strong root development.
Watering: Water each seedling deeply immediately after planting. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or wood chips, around the base of your plants. This helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Varieties:

Determinate tomatoes: These compact plants typically grow 3-5 feet tall and can be spaced closer together than indeterminate varieties. Aim for 2-3 feet apart within rows and 3-4 feet between rows.
Indeterminate tomatoes: These vining plants can grow 6-12 feet tall and require more space to sprawl. Space them 3-4 feet apart within rows and 4-5 feet between rows.
Cherry tomatoes: These small-fruited plants can be planted closer together than larger-fruited tomatoes. Aim for 18-24 inches apart within rows and 3-4 feet between rows.

Harvesting:

Ripeness: Harvest Nunhems Sampurna Tomato when they are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid picking green tomatoes, as they will not ripen properly.
Timing: Harvest Nunhems Sampurna Tomato in the cool morning hours to avoid sun damage.
