Seed Preparation:

Sowing:

1. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
2. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
3. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).

Germination:

• Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days.
• Provide sufficient light (12-16 hours per day) using grow lights or a sunny windowsill.

Transplanting:

• Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
• Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows 36-48 inches apart.
• Plant deep, burying two-thirds of the stem to encourage strong root development.

Care and Maintenance:

• Water regularly, providing 1-2 inches of water per week.
• Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
• Stake or cage plants to support growth and prevent them from sprawling.
• Harvest tomatoes when they are fully red, firm, and slightly soft to the touch.

Gardening Philosophy:
Gardening is the art that uses vegetables and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as the canvas.

Happy gardening!
