Sow into soil at 16–29 °C
Tomato seed germinates well when the soil stays in its optimum range of 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings typically appear in 6–8 days. Indoors, cover the seed with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix. These figures are typical for the species, not a test of this seed lot.
Growing on
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost and plant out after the risk of frost has passed, 50–60 cm apart. Tie the vine up as it grows: it is tall and carries heavy fruit. Give full sun, well-draining soil and consistent watering.
When to expect fruit
A mid-season tomato: seed sellers give about 85–100 days to ripe fruit.
Tomato seed typically stays usable for 4 years or more when kept cool, dark and dry, so seed you do not sow this season can wait for the next.
