If you don’t want to buy plants and want to start with seeds, it’s best to start the seeds indoors in flats or pots six to seven weeks before the last frost date and then transplant the plants when the soil is warm and all danger of frost has past. Set the plants in planting holes 18 to 24 inches apart and set up cages, stakes, or trellises for the crops. After four weeks, apply a thick layer or organic mulch. Keep the plants well watered all season.
For great flavor, harvest tomatoes when they are firm and have reached their full color.
There are hundreds of varieties to choose from. Here are some popular varieties:
Sweet 100
Variety of Heirlooms
Early Girl
Lemon Boy
Beefmaster
Sun Gold
