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.

Large meaty tomatoes with few seeds and excellent taste. Produced well, held up to extreme heat, no signs of blossom end rot. Will grow again.

Our summers our really hot (105 degree temps) and dry/humid, but before and after the heat, this plant thrives and produces juicy, flavorful roma like tomatoes. Best tomatoes we've ever tasted.
