Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

I have grown this for 2 years and it has become one of my all time favorites--not just because I have a daughter named Marianna, but they are delicious with strong sturdy growth and ample fruit.

This tomato is something special, and I agree with the other reviewer that called it buttery. I usually describe it as creamy, and it has a texture like no other. Almost melts in your mouth. There are more intensely flavored fruits, but this one really is something special. I only wish it produced more for me here in my garden. It's a huge plant, and to get as many as I would love to have would take more yard than I have to devote to it. But it's well worth the effort. Beats the Brandywines hands down in my book. A true classic.

I had a packet of these tomato seeds from the 2018 season, which had been stored in less-than-optimal conditions (a damp basement). I planted ten of the seeds in peat pellets in March 2021, and a week later, I have ten healthy seedlings. That's right -- ONE HUNDRED PERCENT germination rate for 3 year old, poorly stored seeds. I couldn't be happier. Will be buying all my seeds from Victory from now on.

This is a very mild tomato with a distinctive buttery smooth texture. Slightly sweet with low acid. Skin is relatively thin and splits easily. We will plant them again next year for variety.
