🍅 Tomato
The easiest, most compact tomato for a Zone 3 beginner.
📅 Start Date: Late March to early April.
🌱 Container: Start in a 2-inch cell tray; move to a 6-inch pot after 4 weeks.
💡 Light: 14–16 hours a day. Keep lights 2 inches above the leaves.
💧 Watering: Wait until the soil surface feels dry to the touch, then bottom-water.
💡 Master Tip: When your Tiny Tim gets its first yellow flowers, give the stem a very gentle shake once a day. This mimics the Alberta wind and helps the plant self-pollinate since there are no bees in your basement!
