How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow your Oxheart tomato seeds 5mm (1/4”) deep in pots or trays of seed-raising mix compost.
Transplanting: Once they have 2-4 leaves, transplant them to 10-15cm (4-6”) pots in a warm, sunny spot.
Growing notes: Only transfer them to their final fruiting position when they're sturdy enough. Space your tomato plants 75cm (30”) apart each way. Water them daily, and when the first truss has been set, feed them regularly with tomato feed. For best results, stake your tomato plants and prevent their heavy fruits from touching the ground. Pinch out any side shoots as they appear. Oxheart tomato seeds can also be sown directly in their final position, especially as a late crop. Harvest your tomatoes when they’re red-ripe, although slightly coloured fruit will ripen indoors. Seedlings should emerge after 10-14 days.
