When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. Consult local frost dates to determine optimal planting times for your region. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep in moist potting soil, maintaining a temperature between 70-80 F during germination. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting them in the garden. Space plants 24 inches apart. Provide support such as stakes or cages to manage their growth.

How to Grow

Water the plants consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer or one formulated for tomatoes every few weeks during the growing season. Prune by removing suckers to direct energy toward fruit production and regularly check for pests and diseases.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
