Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at constant 18-21C until after germination which takes 10-14 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots and grow on steadily in a slightly reduced temperature. Pot on finally into a larger container or 2 plants per growbag, or outdoors once plants have been acclimatised to conditions. Once first flowers have set feed and water regularly with a high potash tomato feed. Harvest regularly to promote further flowers and to extend the picking season.
