Tomato Scatolone 3

80 seeds

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or pots with well-draining, fertile soil. Keep the soil warm (70°F - 80°F/21°C - 27°C) and moist until germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. After the last frost and once soil temperatures are at least 60°F (16°C), transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow proper growth. Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and use mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer to support strong growth and fruiting. Prune suckers and lower leaves to encourage better airflow and healthier plants. Harvest when the tomatoes are fully ripe, typically 70-85 days after transplanting.
