Growing tips

You can grow tomatoes indoors, in a greenhouse or outdoors. Cover the seeds only lightly with soil (max. 5 mm). The optimum germination temperature is between 20 and 25°C and germination takes place after 8 - 14 days. You can speed up germination by soaking the seeds overnight in a damp cloth. You should only plant out the pre-germinated plants after the last frost.
