Place seed on the surface of a free draining sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3 in) pots. Plant in final situation when 10cm (4in) high, 45cm (18in) apart. For indoor crops, plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well-drained soil, after all risk of frost has passed.
Feed weekly with a high potash tomato fertilizer once first fruits have set.
