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. Transplant after the last spring frost when the ground is warm.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. When watering, soak the soil to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches::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, but 8 or more hours of sun will produce the best results::TEMPERATURE: Tomatoes need consistent night temperatures between 12 degree Celsius and 24 C (55°F and 75°F) to set fruit.
