Growing tomato seeds

• Sprinkle the seed thinly onto good quality seed compost. Cover with 1.5mm of compost and water lightly with a watering can.
• Sow two seeds into a 7.5cm pot. Keep the compost moist but be careful not to overwater as wet conditions can encourage “damping-off” disease and other mold problems.
• After germination, remove the smaller plant.
• Pot-on the tomato seedlings as soon as they are big enough to handle. Hold the plants by the leaves.
• Taking care not to touch the stems, transplant them into 7.5cm pots. Protect the plant from frost, cold winds, droughts, etc.
• If you want to grow them outside, plant tomatoes about 45cm apart leaving 75cm between the rows
