Growing tips

Pre-cultivation: Sow in seed trays at a distance of 2 x 2 cm. After sowing, cover the seeds with soil to seed size. A soil temperature of 25-30°C is optimal for germination. Prick out into individual pots 2-3 weeks after emergence and continue to cultivate at 18-20°C. Only plant out after the late frosts. Planting: At a distance of approx. 100 x 50 cm or 80 x 80 cm. Cultivation on canes is carried out as a single shoot or with a side shoot. It is necessary to remove the remaining side shoots (pinching out) and water the tomatoes: Depending on whether you are propagating tomatoes or sowing them directly, and depending on the location and variety, you will need to water your tomato plants differently often. Tomatoes can develop very deep roots that can even draw water from the groundwater. In this case, you hardly need to water them, if at all. Pay attention to the leaves, if they hang limp you should water your tomato plants. The soil dries out more quickly, especially in pots, raised beds and raised beds, so you will need to water them more often.
