How to Grow Tomato Veranda Red Seeds

Sow Tomato Veranda Red Seeds indoors on a warm kitchen windowsill or in a greenhouse.

Sow seeds approximately 0.5cm deep in pots and cover with a thin layer of compost.

Keep the compost well watered and warm. An ideal germination temperature is approximately 15–20°C.

Seedlings should begin to appear after approximately 7–15 days.

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, carefully transplant them into individual pots.

Continue growing the young plants in cooler conditions, but do not allow them to become cold. If tomato plants become too cold, growth can stop and they may struggle to begin growing strongly again.

As the plants develop, pot them into their final containers and grow in a warm, sunny, sheltered position.
