Growing tips :

For a successful crop, sow from February to April on a warm bed or in pots indoors or in a heated greenhouse, in fine sowing soil. Tomatoes need a constant minimum of 20°C to germinate. Bury your tomato seeds 1 cm deep, then cover with sowing compost. Water your potting soil with a sprayer to keep it moist but not soggy. Transplant when frost is no longer a concern and the plants have reached 12-15 cm in rich, loose, healthy soil.
