Tomato 'Neptune'

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

As Neptune is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Neptune about 0 days after your last frost date.
