Crop Details

Transplant Conditions: Wait until soil reaches 65°F and nights stay above 55°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 10 days first.
Direct sow preferred — this crop has sensitive roots and does not transplant well. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots and disturb roots as little as possible when moving outdoors.

Expert Note: Start Goldrush tomato seedlings about 7 weeks before your average last spring frost, then transplant only when the soil is consistently warm (60°F+) to avoid cold-stunting—especially important for long-season plants.
