How to Grow & Care for Better Boy Tomatoes in Texas:
Better Boy Tomatoes thrive in Texas heat with the right care:
Planting Time: For most areas, plant outdoors in early spring after the last frost. In warmer regions of Texas, a second crop can be planted in late summer for fall harvest.
Sunlight: Choose a spot with full sun – at least 6–8 hours daily.
Soil: Well-drained, nutrient-rich soil is ideal. Amend with compost or organic matter before planting.
Watering: Deeply water 1–2 times per week, keeping soil consistently moist but not soggy. Mulch helps retain moisture and control weeds.
Support: As an indeterminate variety, Better Boy needs staking or a sturdy tomato cage to support heavy fruit.
Heat Tips: In extreme Texas heat, provide afternoon shade if possible and water early in the morning to reduce stress.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced vegetable fertilizer every 3–4 weeks for the best results.

Harvest:
Pick when fruits are fully red and slightly firm. Regular picking encourages more fruit production throughout the season.
