Tomato seedlings should be potted up to 3-4 inch pots when the first true leaves develop, rather than the cotyledon leaves.

3. What are the recommended soil temperatures for tomato seed germination?

Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. It is important to provide a warm environment for successful seed germination.

Tomato seeds should not be planted outside until 2 weeks after the last frost.

Tomato seeds should be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
