They also freeze well for convenience.. Detailed planting instructions: When beginning your tomato seeds, it is important to have a suitable location for adequate light exposure. A sunny, south-facing window may not be enough, so a grow light could be a helpful addition.Don't start plants too early. Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting outside. Plant them 1/8 inch deep in sterile seed starting mix in flats or cells. Seeds germinate best at 75 F to 90 F. Then grow transplants at about 70 F.Don't rush to transplant, either. Cold soil and air temperatures can stress plants. Wait at least a week or two after the last frost. Nighttime temperatures should be consistently above 45 F. Use black plastic mulch to warm soil and/or row covers, hot caps or other protection to keep plants warm early in the season. Remove covers whenever temperatures exceed 85 F.Harden off plants before transplanting by reducing water and fertilizer, not by exposing to cold temperatures, which can stress them and stunt growth. Transplants exposed to cold temperatures (60 F to 65 F day and 50 F to 60 F night) are more prone to catfacing.Botanical Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicumDuration: AnnualDays to Maturity: 70Height: 12"to 36Vegetable Spacing: 30"to 36"
