To get started, sow seeds indoors in early spring. Place one seed per cell in seed starting mix, 2 cm (1 in) deep. Water thoroughly and cover with a plastic bag or place in a propagator to maintain warmth and moisture. Once the seeds have germinated, remove the covers and transplant the seedlings into 9 cm pots when they are about 8 cm (3 in) tall and have three true leaves.
Gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions in late spring, increasing their daily exposure over a two-week period. Transplant them in early summer, once the risk of frost has passed, into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, spacing them 18 inches apart. Plant them deeply, burying the lower leaves, and install strong supports such as wire spirals or stakes to support their vertical growth.
Water moderately before flowering, then increase the frequency once fruit begins to form to maintain consistent moisture. Plants in pots or under cover may need daily watering in summer. Apply a liquid fertilizer high in potash at alternate waterings once the first clusters of fruit appear.
Harvest fruit as soon as it reaches maturity, gently removing it from the stem. Protect outdoor crops from early frost by harvesting any remaining fruit in the fall. Unripe tomatoes can finish ripening indoors, while green tomatoes can be made into homemade chutneys or preserves.
