They mature in 80-85 days, so it helps to start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before the last average frost date. It takes 5-10 days for the seeds to germinate, and prefers 70-80 degree F temperature to germinate. Seedlings can be transplanted into prepared garden soil once the danger of frost has passed. They should begin to mature by late May, if germinated by early March. Choose a sunny location that receives eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Space Mortgage Lifter tomato plants 30 to 48 inches apart to allow plenty of room for growth. These plants require heavy trellising. They require ample water, so water when weekly rainfall is not sufficient. Mulching will help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds.
