Growing tips

Tomatoes you can grow indoors, greenhouse and even outdoors. Cover the seeds only slightly with soil (max. 5 mm). The optimal germination temperature is between 20 and 25°C and germination occurs after 8 - 14 days. You can speed up germination by presoaking the seeds overnight in a damp cloth. You should plant out the pre-pulled plantlets only after the last frost.
