SOWING: Start seeds indoors, in pots, trays or flats in warm room with plenty of light. Water with warm water. Cover with 1/8 inch fine soil.

THINNING: Thin when plants are about 2 inches tall. Individually pot or space 3 inches apart.

TRANSPLANTING: Plant outdoors in May, when all danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed considerably.

SPACING: Leave 24 to 36 inches between plants.

GERMINATION: Approximately 1 to 2 weeks in the home. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

Ed’s Special Advice: Most varieties will require staking or caging. As fruit starts to mature, check plants often until you can recognize each plant’s ripening characteristics. Some tomatoes will be ripe when still green.

SEED SAVING: Remove seeds from ripe tomato and soak in water in warm spot for three days or until seeds sink, to remove gel coating. Once cleaned, allow seeds to completely dry and store in cool, dry place.

    I have never had so much fun growing tomatoes! Didn’t know what the germination rate would be so seeded a substantial number of seeds. It was close to 100% germination, if not 100%. The only problem was I was so eager to see all the different varieties I kept and transplanted them all! Such an amazing, wonderful variety of tomatoes, the likes of which I had never seen. The only downside is it is difficult to accurately identify some of the varieties. This seed packet was a wonderful tomato growing experience. I can hardly wait until next year!

    I call my plants “Mystery Tomatoes” because of not knowing exactly what I sowed. Excellent germination rate and the plants are healthy and I’m getting fruit earlier than I expected. I was able to identify the Silvery Fir Tree plant based on it’s foliage. Nice addition to my garden. I just won’t sow so many next year!
