Sowing Indoors: Early Spring

Sow seeds 1.5cm deep in pots or trays of moist compost, be careful not to over-water. Store in a warm location at an approx. temperature of 18^oC (65^oF ). When the seedlings are approx. 6" high, transfer to larger pots and reduce the temperature to 16^oC (60^oF). The plants can be moved to an unheated glasshouse in April or hardened off and planted out from June. Support the plants when needed. Limit each plant to 4-5 trusses and pinch out the sideshoots. Feed regularly with a tomato feed.
