Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

These plants would not die. Very productive plants when grown to 3 stem, 6 ft high. Average fruit 10 ounces, some one pound fruit. Zone 10. Picked green tomatoes in December and ripened indoors. The plants were still flowering when I pulled them out. Huge thick stems kept producing even when blackened by late blight. The only hybrid I grew last season I am growing again this year. Good insurance plant. Sweet tomato sauce and sandwiches. One of the tastier hybrids.
