Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Keep soil warm, around 75° F, and moist. When seedlings emerge, provide a strong light source to promote growth. Before transplanting after the last frost, place seedlings outdoors for a few hours at a time, progressing to a full day, to harden them. When temperatures have risen to 60-70° F, transplant to a sunny spot with rich, moist soil, and supporting structures for vine growth. Water thoroughly, especially in the hottest days of summer. Feed every 4-6 weeks.
Let Tomatoes Ripen on the Vine: The perfect tomato will be red, firm and juicy right off the vine. If one falls before it ripens, place it in a paper bag (with the stem up) and ripen in a cool, dark place. Never refrigerate tomatoes as it spoils the taste and texture; and never put them on a sunny windowsill as they may spoil.
