What you need to know to Plant & Grow This compact, determinate variety is perfect for indoor growing or for small patios, but it still benefits from an early start. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost date. Use a peat moss-based growing mix. Germination: The temperature of the seeding mix should be 21°C to 24°C for prompt germination, which occurs in 10 to 14 days. Seedling Care: When the seedlings are 4 cm high, transplant each into individual pots, reducing the temperature to 15°C to 18°C until planting outside. Transplanting: After hardening off, transplant into well-drained organic soil in late May. Space the plants 60 cm apart (for determinate varieties). Culture: Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight, and a steady supply of water. Keep plants well-watered, applying the water to the soil rather than showering down over the plants. Soil Management: It is very important to keep plants evenly watered as fluctuations in available soil moisture can lead to problems like fruit cracking and blossom end rot. Apply a mulch of straw around plants to protect them from soil-borne diseases and help conserve moisture. Rotate the crop position in the garden every year. Dig out and discard diseased plants; do not compost. Why Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato Seeds belong in Your Garden If you thought you didn’t have room for tomatoes, think again! The Tiny Tim is the perfect solution for balconies, patios, or sunny windowsills. Its compact height and heavy production of sweet, snackable fruit make it an incredibly rewarding, space-saving heirloom.
