Growing tips

Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25°C. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C). If sown before March, there may be a lack of light and poorer growth of the plants. When pricking out, set deeper, up to the cotyledons, so that the plants can form new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Above all, tie or fix the main shoot, otherwise it could break off due to the heavy fruits. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plantings.
