TOMATOES 
Tomato seed is usually planted indoors about 
March 1st. 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 
o(T to the temperature outside.
