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.

Leaves droop during the hot Phoenix days, so I didn't have much hope that these would survive. Much to my surprise, they have thrived. The yield, flavor, and appearance of this tomato has been quite good. The first fruits to ripen had blossom end rot, but newer fruits do not. Plants seem to have outgrown it. Lower leaves senesce (die) and need removal but healthy upper leaves keep appearing. Skin is a bit thick. This may be due to heat or simply a characteristic of this type of tomato.
