Overview

• Mid-May, following the frost-free 'Eisheiligen' period, is the ideal time to transplant tomato seedlings outdoors in Central Europe.
• Deep planting and removal of lower leaves promote side root formation, enhancing plant stability and nutrient uptake.
• Grafted tomato plants offer increased resilience to soil pests and extended fruiting into autumn, making them a popular choice among gardeners.
• Pre-grown seedlings of fruit vegetables like tomatoes and peppers are recommended for better yields and to avoid challenges with indoor germination.
• Regular care, including morning watering, weekly fertilization, and sucker removal, supports healthy growth and reduces disease risk.
