Sow 3–6 mm deep in soil at 16–29 °C
Start seed indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Cover it with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix and keep the soil at 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings usually appear in 6–8 days (figure measured with seed sown about 12 mm deep). These are typical values for tomatoes as a species, not a test of this packet.
Planting out
Move plants outside after the last frost. Space them 45–60 cm apart in well-drained soil at pH 6.0–6.8 and at least 6–8 hours of direct sun. The first ripe fruit comes about 65–75 days after transplanting, counted from planting out rather than from sowing.
