Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:

Soaking: Optional, but soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours can enhance germination rates.
Scarification: Not required for tomato seeds.
Sowing:

Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with seed-starting mix.
Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep.
Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) apart in seed trays.
Watering: Water lightly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Germination:

Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Time: Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
Light: Provide 12-16 hours of light per day using grow lights or place in a sunny window.
Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and when they are 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) tall.
Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day for a week.
Spacing: Plant seedlings 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart in rows, with 36-48 inches (90-120 cm) between rows.
Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water plants deeply and regularly, aiming for 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Staking: Support plants with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep vines upright and prevent fruit from touching the ground.
Pruning: Remove suckers (the shoots that develop in the leaf axils) to encourage stronger main stems and better fruit production.
Weeding: Keep the planting area free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
