SOWING: Start seeds indoors, in pots, trays or flats in a warm room with plenty of bright light. Water with warm water. Cover with 1/8 inch fine soil.
THINNING: Thin when plants are about 2 inches tall. Individuality pot or space 3 inches apart in flats.
TRANSPLANTING: Plant outdoors in May, when all danger of frost has passed.
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: Plant in full sun. If possible, against a south or west wall or fence where sun reflection will provide additional heat. Black plastic at base of plants or a tire placed on the soil will also help provide heat for earlier ripening. Fertilize monthly and water deeply when dry.
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.
