How to Grow Tomato Seeds
Sowing: Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8
weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4"
deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until
germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a
grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the
second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots;
bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants. A
week before planting the seedlings outside, begin exposing them to the weather
during the day to harden them; tomatoes cannot endure cold weather, and should
not be transplanted outside until all threat of frost has passed. When the soil
temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F, plant the seedlings in full sun and
very rich soil; once more, bury the entire stem up to the lowest set of leaves.
If providing a trellis, space the plants 2' apart, but if allowing the vines to
spread, space the plants 3-4' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant
Black Prince heirloom tomato seeds with carrots or onions, but avoid planting
them with cabbage or tomatoes.
Growing: Indeterminate tomato
varieties often perform best when provided with a trellis or support, since
this protects them from various pests and diseases in connection with too much
soil contact. Put the supports in place before the seedlings develop vines. As
the vines begin to grow, tying them to the support helps their development.
Since temperatures below 55 degrees F can damage production, protect the plants
if temperatures drop. A thick layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and
control weeds; water the plants once a week, but avoid getting the leaves wet.
Pruning the "suckers," or shoots that grow between the main stem and
the branches, will greatly improve the production and strength of the plant.
Harvesting: Test the ripeness of
tomatoes by pressing them gently; the flesh should yield slightly. The mature
color also indicates ripeness. If the stem does not come easily off the vine,
cut it with a scissors. Vine ripened tomatoes have the best flavor, but as soon
as frost comes, all tomatoes should be harvested, even the green ones. Unripe
tomatoes will ripen eventually if kept in a warm place out of direct sunlight.
Black Prince tomatoes are early and abundant, and have an intense sweetness.

SEED STORING
Store your seeds in a cool, dry and
dark location.
Most seeds have a long shelf life, years even, but heat and moisture will cut
that life short.
Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house
your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.
