DIRECT SEEDING:
Warm climate gardeners may direct-sow tomato seeds outdoors if they have 120-150 days of frost-free weather. Sow seeds 30 to 48 inches apart in a row with the rows spaced 48 inches apart. Seedlings emerge in 7-10 days at 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

INDOOR SEEDING/TRANSPLANTING:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. Keep moist and under good quality light. Place containers in a south facing window or under grow lights until seedlings emerge.

HARVEST:
Indeterminate varieties bear fruit continuously till frost. Pick tomatoes when they are as ripe as possible--they should be fully colored and firm; pick regularly to avoid overloading plants. When you know there will be a frost, pick all the almost-ripe tomatoes you can, and ripen them in brown bags or spread on newspapers at room temperature.

STORAGE:
Some cultivars can store for months. Store only sound fruit, at 50-60°F.
