#Gardening : When Should You Sow Tomato Seeds
Almost all gardeners will start their tomato seeds indoors. The soil temperature should be 70° to 90°F. Under ideal conditions it normally takes 7-14 days for germination. Seedlings can be transplanted as soon as your garden soil temperatures reach 50°F and the nighttime temps don’t drop below 45°F. An inexpensive soil thermometer is an invaluable tool to determine soil temperatures, as ambient temperature, moisture content and soil composition can greatly affect the soil temperature.

Most, though, will find that having a mini-countertop-greenhouse for germinating their tomato seeds yields the best results. These seed starting kits tend to take up less space; they can be stacked in a pinch (until they sprout and the plastic lids need to be removed); they look much neater; they more easily maintain adequate moisture levels; and they are reusable. After the initial investment, you simply refill them with peat pellets, like the ones Jiffy makes. They store really well: they can be nested to make a neat little package. As always, we wish you Happy Gardening!
