Growing Guide

Tomatoes grow best in warm weather and fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors before your last expected frost date, then transplant outdoors once the weather has warmed and the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location and provide consistent watering throughout the growing season to support strong growth and fruit development.

Because Burpee's Bush Big Boy produces large fruit on a more compact plant, support such as a cage or sturdy stake can help keep plants tidy and make harvesting easier. Pick tomatoes when they are fully colored and slightly firm for the best flavor and texture. This variety is a great choice for gardeners who want big, flavorful slicing tomatoes on plants that fit more easily into smaller garden spaces.
