Tomato 
‘Tomatoes require a long time to develop. Start seed indoors 
in a hotbed or coldframe. Plant seedlings as soon as they are 
large enough to handle. It takes six to eight weeks to grow 
plants large enough to set out. Plants must not be set out in 
open ground until all danger of frost has passed. Make pro- 
visions for stakes, since better-quality Tomatoes are obtained 
from plants that are tied to stakes. Days to maturity listed 
are from time plants are set in the garden,
