When to sow
Temperate zones: sow in early spring or wait until all frost danger has passed and the soil is warm. Generally, if starting tomato seeds inside then begin a few weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. By sowing early there will be time for a decent crop to be produced before the first frost in winter.
Subtropical zones: sow during March to October in warm frost-free areas.
Tropical zones: sow during late April to July.
How to sow
Best sown in containers about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds just below the surface and keep the soil temperature warm until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves, seedlings can then be transplanted. When planting out seedlings should be placed in full sun and rich well drained soil.
Plant in rows 90cm apart with 45cm to 60cm between plants. Prepare the soil by adding a good compost.
Fertiliser
Well drained soil rich in organic matter and nutrients. Should be regularly fertilised to keep their N-P-K levels consistent. Choose an organic fertiliser that's low in nitrogen levels and higher in phosphorus and potassium. Rock dusts, vermicast, fish and seaweed emulsion products are natural and highly beneficial.
Tips and tricks
Avoid planting in garden beds that have recently grown tomatoes, potatoes, capsicums or eggplants or any other tomato relative. Crop rotation is best practised to help avoid the build-up of pathogens in the soil.
For optimum fruit production and quick ripening choose a growing location that receives full sunlight. Gardeners in warmer climates may instead prefer to grow tomatoes in a lightly shaded location to reduce heat stress on plants and fruit.
