• Steps on Growing  Crown Tomato

• Nursery
• Sow tomatoes in seedling trays filled with cocopeat/ seed starting mix.
• Sow a seed per hole at ½ inch deep.
• Seeds can be started in a bright window or under fluorescent lights set about 2 inches (5 cm) above the plants.
• Keep seed starting mix/ cocopeat just moist until seeds germinate.
• Germination takes 5 to 7 days at 75°F (24°C) or warmer.
• About two weeks after germination seedlings are ready and can be transplanted to the field.
• Transplanting
• Set seedlings out where they can have access to direct sun because tomato needs about 8 hours of sunlight.
• Plants will not thrive in temperatures cooler than 50°F (10°C).
• Set a tomato transplant into the garden deeper than it was growing in the seedling tray. Remove the lower leaves on the stem up to the top two sets of leaves. Bury the stem up to the top two sets of leaves. New roots will grow on the buried stem. Burying stems at transplanting will make for sturdier plants.
• Water newly transplanted seedlings.
• Seedlings should be planted at a spacing of  24 inches (61cm) apart.

Planting Site:

• Grow tomatoes in full sun, at least 8 hours of sun each day.
• Prepare planting beds by adding 2 to 4 inches (5-10cm) of aged compost or commercial organic planting mix before transplanting.
• Turn the soil to at least 12 inches (30cm) deep before planting.
• Tomatoes require warm, sandy loam soil.
• Tomatoes prefer a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.8.
