Tomato 
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 provisions 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.
