Growing Trumfera Balaguer Tomato

Indoor Sowing: Mid Winter and Late Winter.

Direct Sowing: Spring and Early Summer.

• Tomatoes require a long growing season, and are best started indoors 6 – 8 weeks before the anticipated transplanting date.
• For best results, surface sow Tomato Seeds in a well-drained, soil-less starting mix and cover with a thin layer of soil.
• Seeds require warm soil. The warmer the soil, the faster the germination.
• Keep soil moist, but not soggy while awaiting germination.
• Wait at least a week or two after the last frost before transplanting the seedlings.
• Tomatoes do better if the seedlings are planted deeper than they were grown in containers.
• Set them in the ground so that the soil level is just below the lowest leaves.
• Roots will form along the buried stem, establishing a stronger root system.
