Developed by Tom Wagner of Tater Mater Seed and introduced in 1983 as "T-1." Mr. Wagner later named this tomato 'Schimmeig Stoo', which means "Striped Cavern" in the native tongue (Manx) of Tom's maternal grandfather. Note that some vendors sell this variety by its translated name, "Striped Cavern" but it is the same variety.

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.
