CROW TOMATOES THIS YEAR 
19 
indoors about May 1st. We use shallow boxes or “flats” 
and plant in rows about 2 inches apart. As soon as the 
seedlings are about an inch tall, they are “pricked out” into 
a larger box and spaced about 4 inches apart. Rich loose 
soil should be used. When the weather has moderated, the 
plants should gradually be hardened off to the temperature 
outside. This can be done in a warm sheltered spot where 
they can be protected at night and in case of frost. About 
6 weeks after seed is sown, the plants are ready for their 
permanent location. By taking note of the probable date 
of the last killing frost in spring in his own locality, every 
gardener can determine approximately the best time for 
transplanting to his garden.
