Sowing Info
Place seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per growbag or 20cm (8in) pots in the greenhouse. Provide a night temperature of 16-24°C (60-75°F) and around 24°C (75°F) in daytime for good fruit setting. Ensure compost is evenly moist as flowers form. Feed with tomato fertiliser as blossoms open and water well. For Outdoor Crops: Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions before planting out early summer 60cm (24in) apart in moist, well-drained soil in a sunny sheltered site.
