tomatoes require warm soil to germinate and full sun to thrive. sow seeds lightly 5 mm deep in trays or seedling pots, keeping soil evenly moist. germination typically takes 7–14 days. transplant seedlings once they have 2–4 true leaves, spacing plants 50–70 cm apart. provide support with stakes or cages as they grow. water regularly at the base to avoid leaf diseases and mulch to retain soil moisture. prune side shoots for bushier growth and better airflow. harvest fruits when fully coloured and firm.
