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.

By Colin Spence on July 2, 2020
I grew around a half dozen Sheboygan plants from seed starting indoors in early March. By the time I planted one outside in mid-late May, it was one of my bigger plants, and right now around 50 days later, it's over four feet tall and also four feet wide and totally loaded with (green) tomatoes. So while I can't write a review commending the taste of the tomatoes quite yet, I felt it was worth sharing that the plants are and were vigorous from the start until now. The seeds germinated very well, and the plants have grown about as well as one could expect especially given the fact that the plants don't get more than 5-6 hours of sun per day, and I counted over 3 dozen tomatoes on the plant the other day. Overall, very impressed with these seeds.
