Sowing:

Sow March to April. Place seed on the surface of a free draining compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 64-68F until after germination, which takes 7 to 14 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Growing:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots. Plant in final situation when 4 inches high, 18 inches apart. For indoor crops, plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Prefers a moist, rich, well-drained soil in warm conditions.

Aftercare:

Feed weekly with tomato fertilizer once first fruits have set.
