Sow into soil at 16–29 °C
Tomato seed germinates well when the soil stays in its optimum range of 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings typically appear in 6–8 days. Indoors, cover the seed with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix. These figures are typical for the species, not a test of this packet.
Growing on
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant when seedlings are 10–15 cm tall and frost has passed, 45–60 cm apart. Give at least 6–8 hours of full sun, soil at pH 6.0–7.0 and even watering without waterlogging or drought; feed with a balanced fertiliser every 2–3 weeks.
When to expect fruit
Harvest usually starts about 75 days after transplanting.
What you get
One packet of 10 seeds of Join or Die (Belle du College). Tomato seed typically stays usable for 4 years or more when kept cool, dark and dry, so seed you do not sow this season can wait for the next.
