Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the tether end of the winter-spring.Two weeks before transplanting seedlings outdoors, till the soil to about 1 foot and mix in aged manure, compost, or fertilizer. Harden off transplants for a week before planting them outside.Establish tomato cages in the ground at the time of founding. Support is recommended.Plant seedlings two feet apart.Pinch off a few lower branches of the transplants, and plant the root ball deep enough so that the remaining lowest leaves are barely above the surface of ground.WATERING:Water thoroughly to encourage the tomato roots to look for water and nutrients deep in the ground..SOIL:Tomatoes like a well drained, deep and loamy (rich with sand, silt and clay) soil with a pH ranging between 6.0 to 6.8::SPOT:Tomatoes need a minimum of 6 hours of sun to produce fruit::TEMPERATURE:Tomatoes need consistent night temperatures between 12 degree Celsius and 24 C (55°F and 75°F) to set fruit.
