Growing Conditions

Tomatoes can be sown as early as July (if you have a greenhouse) and up untill January in the warmer parts of NZ. Sow into trays and transplant into new trays or pots when first true leaves appear.

Seedlings need an average overnight temperature of 18degrees so plant out after chance of frost has passed. Space plants 30-50cm apart or more if you do not plan to prune. Beefsteak tomatoes will need staking so set your garden beds up before planting to ensure plants have good support.
