Planting tomato seeds is an exciting time. It is one of the very first gardening projects of the year. Without a doubt, after a long winter, you are itching to get your hands back into some &#8220;dirt&#8221;.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Begin starting tomato seeds indoors in small containers, eight to ten weeks before the last frost date for your area. First, select sterile containers. Then, sow Brandywine tomato seeds about 1\/8&#8243; inch deep, using sterile seed starting soil. Seeds sprout in 10-14 days, depending upon soil temperature. We highly recommend a germination mat for starting plants indoors. Without a doubt, germination mats help to sprout seeds faster and with a higher germination rate.\u00a0<\/p><p align=\"Left\">As soon as the seedlings emerge, they need full sunlight to grow sturdy. Lack of sunlight causes the plants to grow &#8220;leggy&#8221;. Because of this, we highly recommend using grow lights to supplement the amount of available sunlight.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Tip:\u00a0<\/b>To help your plants grow sturdy, place a small fan on low nearby. Or, lightly brush the tops of the plants with your hands a couple of times each day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c2ebfca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c2ebfca\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-89158c4\" data-id=\"89158c4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e02a0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6e02a0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenersnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/tomato-flaticon-q0lj0j8hcbgbongzvn3yykplvvjzv8cj3qz1q9i2v4.png\" title=\"Tomato Flaticon\" alt=\"Tomato Flaticon\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4078fd\" data-id=\"a4078fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9222f37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9222f37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to Grow Brandywine Tomato Plants<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cdc4038 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cdc4038\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c1c5072\" data-id=\"c1c5072\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a808194 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a808194\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"Left\"><b>Learn all about growing these unique tomatoes:<\/b><\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenersnet.com\/vegetable\/tomato.htm\">How to Grow Tomatoes<\/a>\u00a0&#8211;

They will die if exposed to frost. Make sure to plant them after the last frost.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Tip#1:\u00a0<\/b>Cover your young seedling if frost is predicted. A simple and easy cover for small seedlings is to buy large or extra large plastic disposable cups. Place them over the seedling at dusk, and remove them in the morning. It is usually little or no wind on nights with frost, so they are not easily tipped over.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Tip#2:\u00a0<\/b>If you get a light frost overnight and you did not cover up your plants. Go out early before the sun rises, and spray your plants with the garden hose.

Do not put them in the refrigerator. While they last longer in the refrigerator, they will lose their flavor and texture. Keep them out of direct sunlight.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Just before frost, pick tomatoes while they are still green or orange. First, wash them thoroughly. Second, rinse in a light solution of 1 gallon of water and a tablespoon of bleach. This kills off bacteria that rot the fruit. Then, allow them to dry. Finally, put them in a cool, dry, dark place.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">To ripen tomatoes indoors, bring a couple at a time to a warm, sunny window.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><a
