Product Description

All Heirloom

Indeterminant

80-90 days

Sow in spring under glass or on a windowsill with warmth provided 1/16 inch deep. Germination takes around 6-14 days at 65-75F.

Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots.

Grow on under cooler conditions and when about 8 inches tall, either plant in their growing position in the greenhouse or gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions and plant out 18 inches apart in a warm, sheltered and sunny spot in moist, fertile well drained soil and keep watered.

Indeterminate tomatoes will grow and produce fruit until killed by frost.

They can reach heights of up to 12 feet although 6 feet is normal. Indeterminates will bloom, set new fruit and ripen fruit all at the same time throughout the season. They require substantial staking for support and benefit from being constrained to a central growing stem.

Tips:

How to germinate tomato seeds.

-Suggest you use Germination Trays Kit for Germination and Growth in Greenhouse.

1-Gather supplies.

You’ll need your seeds, seedling trays, soil medium, and water at a minimum. If you want to keep a consistently warm temperature, a seed heating mat works wonders.

2-Pre-moisten soil.

Pour enough of the seed starting mix into a mixing container – I use a large planting pot to mix the soil. Add a bit of water to the soil and mix thoroughly. Be sure to reach down to the bottom to moisten the soil evenly. The soil is at the right moisture level when it sticks together when squeezed, but does not drip water.

3-Fill planting containers with soil.

Add the pre-moistened soil to your growing containers, pressing down gently until you feel some resistance. Fill to within 1/4″ of the surface of the containers and level the surface of the soil. I like to use seed cell trays for planting to save space. After a few weeks of growth, I’ll up-pot the plants into larger containers.

4-Label seedling cells with tomato variety.

Label your seed cells with the plant variety before sowing the seeds – this helps avoid any confusion about which is which later on!

5-Plant seeds 1/8-1/4″ deep.

Place 1-2 seeds in each container and press them about 1/8-1/4″ deep. Cover them gently with soil. Don’t plant too deeply as this can make it difficult for the seedling to emerge from the mix.

6-Mist soil surface with water.

Spritz the surface of the soil where the seeds were planted to ensure they are thoroughly moist. Remember, water is one of the essentials to initiate tomato seed germination!

7-Cover with humidity dome.

With the seeds planted, cover the trays with a humidity dome to keep in moisture. This essentially creates a miniature greenhouse for your seeds.

8--Place in warm, suuny, dimly lit location.

Tomato seeds germinate best in very warm temperatures, between 70-80°F (21-25°C). Find a spot in your home that is warmest, like above the refrigerator or near your computer. I use a seed heating mat to maintain high temperatures, but this is optional.

9-Fan and mist daily.

While the seeds are germinating, lift the humidity dome daily to allow some fresh air in. Mist the surface of each seed cell to prevent the seeds from drying out – this is critical!

Once sprouted, move seedlings to bright location.

10-After a week or so, you should see the beginnings of your new tomato plants. As soon as they sprout, you should remove the humidity dome completely and move the plants to a sunny or very bright location. I recommend grow lights for best results, but your plants will do just fine in a South-facing window (for Northern hemisphere folks).
