Tomato Seeds 'Marmande'

Tomatoes are one of the most popular and rewarding crops to grow, producing sweet, juicy fruits perfect for salads, sauces, and cooking. With a little warmth and light, you can raise healthy plants from seed and enjoy harvests throughout summer and autumn.

Indoor Sowing
Sow seeds indoors from January to April. Use trays or small pots filled with peat-free seed compost, sowing thinly and covering with 1cm of compost or vermiculite. Water gently to settle, then cover with a clear lid or clingfilm to maintain humidity. Place trays in a warm, bright spot such as a heated greenhouse or sunny windowsill.

After Germination
Once Professional Grower Plugs appear, remove the cover and keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. If growing on a windowsill, rotate trays regularly to stop Professional Grower Plugs leaning towards the light. When Professional Grower Plugs are large enough to handle, prick out into individual pots to continue growing on.

Planting Out
Transplant into larger pots, growbags, or directly into the soil once all risk of frost has passed. Provide canes or strings for cordon varieties and keep plants in a warm, sheltered spot for the best yields.
