Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 1-2 hours before planting can help with germination.
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix or peat pots. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 70-80°F). Once seedlings have developed true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger containers or outdoors.

Transplanting: 

Transplant seedlings outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 36 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance: 

Provide support for tomato plants such as stakes or cages to support their growth. Water consistently, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune tomato plants to remove suckers and promote air circulation. Harvest tomatoes when they are fully ripe and firm to the touch.

Happy gardening!
