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 (60ยฐ to 70ยฐ) 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.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Love these
By Fred (Norwich, NY) on July 18, 2024

I love these tomatoes. I'm actually harvesting off a set of plants I overwintered indoors. I took a cutting from some of my healthiest looking plants last year Planted them this year and now they are over 6 feet tall. I plan to do the same this fall too. They taste sweet, and some get big enough that you need to take two bites versus just popping it in your mouth.
