Planting & Growing Instructions:
• Days Till Maturity: Ace 55 tomatoes mature in 75-80 days, making them a perfect mid-season variety for summer harvests.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil. This depth ensures proper germination by keeping the seeds moist and protected.
• Plant Spacing: Once seedlings are ready to transplant, space them 24-36 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and airflow. Space rows about 36-48 inches apart to give the plants ample room.
• Days to Germination: Expect your seeds to germinate within 7-14 days when kept in warm, moist soil (ideally between 70-85°F).
• Start Indoors or Direct Sow?: For best results, start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. This gives the plants a strong start, leading to earlier fruiting. Alternatively, in warmer regions with a long growing season, you can direct sow outdoors once the risk of frost has passed, though indoor starting is generally recommended.
• Sun or Shade? Ace 55 tomato plants thrive in full sun. For the healthiest plants and highest yields, provide them with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Inadequate sunlight can lead to reduced fruiting and less flavorful tomatoes.

Growing Tips for Ace 55 Tomatoes:
• Soil Requirements: Ace 55 tomatoes do best in rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8. Adding compost or other organic matter will improve the soil structure and nutrient availability.
• Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week to encourage strong root development. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases—water at the base of the plant instead.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when transplanting, and switch to a high-potassium fertilizer during flowering and fruiting for optimal tomato production.
• Support: Ace 55 tomatoes are a determinate variety, which means they grow in a more compact form. While they generally need less staking than indeterminate varieties, using a cage or stake for support will help keep the plants upright and improve airflow.
