Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm (¼”) deep, thinly in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm (4-6”) tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 60cm (2’) apart, when frosts are over. Do not pinch out side shoots. Support is only necessary if trusses become too heavy. Water and feed regularly.
Soil Type: Warm, well drained soil
Hints & Tips: These toms can be grown in a polytunnel but are happiest outside. A tall pot is perfect as they can tumble over the edge.
