How to Sow Seeds

Method: Seed trays / Direct sow
Depth: 5mm
Growing notes: Sow your Tommy Toe tomato seeds in seed trays or seed directly where they’ll be growing, 5mm (1/4”) deep. Prepare their soil well by adding organic material and fertiliser before planting, and keep their soil moist as they grow. Water them daily, and when the first truss has set, feed them regularly with tomato feed. Pinch out any side shoots as they appear. Seedlings should emerge in 10-14 days. This is an indeterminate variety that requires support.
