Start from seed or buy as small plants and grow on, in a heated greenhouse or on a warm windowsill. Move to an unheated greenhouse or outside once all risk of frost has passed, and provide support. Keep the growing media evenly moist; inconsistent watering can lead to splitting and rot. Feed every 10-14 days. See tomato cultivation.
