Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.
Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.By our calculations, you should look at sowing German Johnson about 42 days before your last frost date.
Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as German Johnson is a tender plant.A variety originally brought to Virginia and North Carolina by immigrants.1 Possibly related to “German Pink” which is a smaller tomato on a potato leafed plant.1
