creme's tomato: yellow oxheart Care Instructions
Ensure a rough distance of 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) when sowing directly.
Tomato normally grows to a mature height of 1.20 metres (that's 3.90 feet imperial) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Tomato likes a position of full sun light, which is a perfect fit for your garden.
Remember to water moderately.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (5b) is within the ideal range for Tomato. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 14.
Tomato requires a soil ph of 5.0 - 6.0 meaning it does best in acidic soil.
Bacterial Speck, Bacterial Spot, Bacterial Canker, Verticillium Wilt, and Early Blight are common problems for Tomato so keep a note of any developing symptoms.

So far so good. We will know more when true leaves come. Right now the key thing is to find consistent heat and light source for them. Tomorrow will be another busy day!

Can you please post a pic, so I can see whether the seedling is sick or whether it is just putting out the lacy/wispy foliage typical to Oxhearts?
Fn1. From http://www.southernexposure.com/yellow-oxheart-tomato-016-g-p-1260.htmlThis variety normally has thin, lacy, foliage (compared to other tomatoes) so maybe it is actually ok!
“Foliage has thin, lacy, finely divided leaves”- 1
BTW…
I have read that Oxheart tomatoes have little resistance to wilt and virus diseases, such as verticilium, fusarium, and tomato spotted wilt virus.
“Low tolerance to disease and drought and poor seedling vigor are characteristic of this variety, but in most other respects it is a superb tomato. Foliage has thin, lacy, finely divided leaves.”-1
