"Direct" Seeding of Tomatoes Fireball, an extra-early tomato variety, is better sown directly In the soil where plants are to grow. Other tomato varieties also may be "direct-seeded." For names, see article. While the seeds of most tomato varieties must be started in doors weeks ahead of frost-free date in the garden, there are some .varieties that can be planted right out In the garden and still will produce bountiful crops within your growing season. Time to plant is after May 10 in the north, after March 20 in the south, and after April 15 In the i "middle" states. All of these varieties are "early" tomatoes-that require a shorter time to mature fruit than most kinds. Among them are the older E^rllanna and Valiant, the newer tomatoes Gardener and Fireball. After soil has been prepared by spading, preferably toadepth ot a foot, clods broken up and the area leveled and smoothed with a rake, seeds of these tomatoes may be planted. Make furrows an eighth of an Inch deep, spaced at least 18 Inches apart. Seeds of Valiant and Fli eball should be scattered about a. inch apart In the row; those of Karllanna and Gardener can be spaced further apart. This difference In spacing Is because V.illant has vines that grow sparsely and Fireball foli age Is sparse, thus plants of these two varieties will be grown closer together than those of the other varieties. Cover all seeds with 1/8 Inch of soli. . When seedlings are 3 or 4 Inches high, thin so they are spaced from 2 to 3 feet apart. If, however, you have planted seeds of Fireball or Valiant, allow plants to remain 6 to 8 inches apart AFTER thinning. Tomatoes, like other vege tables, need water when sum mer weather Is dry and both plants and fruits will be larger If fertilizer Is given once a month. In early autumn, when frosts threaten, prolong the tomato season In your garden by cover ing the plants In the rows with layers of newspapers, anchor ing the edges with stones and soil.
