Hi Alavahalf. Last year you gave me some advice regarding a Maskotka tomato plant that I acquired. It was a great success and the tomatoes were lovely. I saved some of the seeds which have been in the garage over the winter. I`m not sure how damp they got in there but they look OK so I`m going to plant them. Would it be too early now? They would be indoors in a covered tray in a south facing window.

I would say much too early. But my experience is only with outdoor grown toms, and they shouldn't be planted out until all chance of a frost is gone. If you have a hothouse or something protected like that, you might be able to raise the plants much earlier. Someone else will probably give you better advice.

Also, if Maskotka is an F1 hybrid, then they won't grow true from seed. Google will give you info on that.

Atheist - thank you. I got some info from a neighbour about them today and I am definitely a bit early to grow them from seed. I`ll leave it until March.
