Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting to speed up germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
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 and firm, but slightly soft to the touch.

Gardening is the art that uses vegetable and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
Happy gardening!
