When to Sow Sungold Tomato Seeds

January to April

Where to Sow

Sow sungold tomato seeds in a good seed sowing compost in pots or trays, and then cover with a light sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place the trays or pots into a propagator at 18-21°C until the seeds have germinated.

What to do next

Transplant into individual pots when large enough to handle, usually once the seedlings have 2 true leaves. You can also transplant to the greenhouse border soil, or into growbags when they are 20cm high. Allow 3 plants per growbag.
Tomato plants can also be planted outdoors once all risk of frost has past. Gradually acclimatise them to the temperatures before planting out. When planting outdoors, plant in a sheltered but sunny position and plant 60cm apart.
This variety requires sideshooting and support with canes for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
