SOWING: Start seeds indoors in late winter through early spring. Place pots, trays or flats under lights in a warm room. Barely cover seeds with 1/16 inch fine soil. Water with warm water. Provide plenty of light for young seedlings
THINNING: When seedlings are about 2 inches tall, individually pot or space 3-4 inches apart in flats.
TRANSPLANTING: Plant outdoors in May when all danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. Harden off seedlings.
SPACING: Leave 2-3 feet between plants.
GERMINATION: 1 to 2 weeks at 70 F. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Plant in full sun, if possible against a south or west wall or fence where reflected sun will provide additional heat. Black plastic at base of plants or a tire placed around each plant also will help provide heat for earlier ripening. Tomatoes prefer rich soil kept moderately moist. Fertilize monthly if necessary and avoid spraying foliage when watering.
