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.

Growing these for the first time this year, in North Dakota. I am very impressed with this variety and plan to continue growing it.
I started 4 seeds on April 6. Three seeds sprouted between April 10 and 12. Put them in individual larger cups on April 30. Planted out May 26, after about a week of hardening. Picked first two tomatoes on July 19, and still picking now, in late August, with plenty of green tomatoes still on the plants.
The fruit is not large, but tasty. Great in salads! We'd been eating them for about a month before our main beefsteak tomatoes started to ripen.

Grew with Siberia. Siberia cranked well into June. These were disease-ridden by early May.

This variety almost always provides my first tomatoes of the season. The first year I grew it, I was surprised that it continued to produce through the hot, dog days when many varieties no longer set fruit. I've been planting at least one or two of these for years. The tomatoes are fairly small, but taste decent and the plants are always still loaded with tomatoes when we expect our first frost. Most of the still green tomatoes I pull at that time will gradually ripen inside and extend the season.
