Growing Tomatoes:
There are entire books and many online resources for starting and growing tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest. Here is a great link from the Tilth Alliance about growing great Tomatoes in Seattle. The basics? Start tomato seeds indoors with supplemental heat and light in February and March. Plant when soil has warmed to 60 degrees. Tomatoes like to grow in compost rich soil. Stop watering plants in August for sweeter fruits that ripen earlier.
80 days to maturity.
Packet contains ~25 seeds
