Sow seeds 1cm (½in) deep in pots or trays in a good seed compost at minimum 20C under glass or in a propagator. Protect emerging seedlings from direct sunlight.

Growing Instructions: Maintain a temperature of around 20°C. Plant 2 plants per growbag under frost free glass for earliest crops, or in frames or cloches.

Sub laterals will form which produce fruit. Once fruit has set remove further flowers. Feed regularly with tomato fertiliser.
