Ripe tomatoes harvested at peak flavor mark one of summer's most satisfying milestones, and Tasti-lee delivers that reward in 75 days. Each fruit concentrates lycopene, the potent antioxidant that gives tomatoes their cancer-fighting and cardiovascular benefits, along with nutrients that support healthy eyesight. The variety's straightforward 75-day timeline means you're harvesting at the height of summer when the flavor is most concentrated and the satisfaction greatest.
Tasti-lee tomatoes are grown for fresh harvest and immediate use, where their ripeness and juiciness shine brightest. They're best enjoyed soon after picking, sliced fresh into salads, layered into sandwiches, or simply eaten warm from the vine. The variety's emphasis on flavor makes it particularly suited to any preparation where the tomato itself is the star of the dish rather than a supporting ingredient.

Start seeds indoors in a warm environment between 70 and 90°F. Sow approximately six to eight weeks before your last expected frost date, giving seedlings time to develop sturdy growth before transplanting.
Transplant seedlings into the garden only after all frost danger has passed and soil temperatures have warmed sufficiently. Space transplants three inches apart in their row position, and harden off seedlings gradually over seven to ten days before moving them to full outdoor sun.
Harvest Tasti-lee tomatoes when they reach full color and yield slightly to gentle pressure. For maximum flavor, pick fruit when completely ripe directly on the vine during the coolest part of the day. Green fruits that mature late in the season can be ripened indoors in a cool, dark area, keeping them separated so they don't touch one another, which can cause soft spots.
