Key growing details:
Tomatoes are warm-season crops sensitive to frost. Timing depends on your region:
- Highveld / colder inland areas (Johannesburg, Pretoria, Free State): Start seeds indoors late August – September. Transplant outdoors October – November after the last frost risk.
- Middleveld: September – December.
- Lowveld / frost-free areas (parts of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, coastal KZN): February – May or nearly year-round.
- Western Cape: July – October.
General recommendation: Sow in spring/summer (August – November). Start seeds 4–6 weeks before the last expected frost for the longest harvest. Provide full sun, rich soil, regular watering and staking.
