🪴 Your Growing Journey
1. Starting Indoors Start seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, planting them 1/4 inch deep in seed starting mix.
2. Germination Fast sprouting requires a very warm environment (75-85°F) and damp soil. Expect sprouts in 7-14 days.
3. Hardening Off Move seedlings outside for brief intervals, slowly increasing their exposure to sunlight over a week.
4. Transplanting Plant outdoors in full sun with 24 to 36-inch spacing. San Marzanos love deep planting to develop strong root bases.
5. Care Provide very sturdy support (tall stakes or heavy-duty cages). Consistent watering is essential, but never let the roots sit in waterlogged soil to prevent blossom end rot.
