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.

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.
