How To Grow Red Robin Tomatoes From Seed: Red Robin Tomato seeds can be sown in small pots or seedling modules, indoors in early Spring. They can be planted directly outside in pots from April onwards. Plant two seeds in each pot/cell. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest one in each cell/pot.
When seedlings get to about 8cm tall, they can be planted into larger pots.
Tomatoes need heat and do best in greenhouses. If growing them outside, put them in a warm sunny area of the garden.
Red Robin can remain in a medium sized pot for its life cycle. It will not need the support of canes etc. as long as it does not grow too leggy from lack of sunshine early in the season.
Seed count is approximate.

Customer Reviews
I decided I wanted a little Winter project so I turned the grow tent I usually use for germinating and bringing on seedlings over to two self-watering planters filled with pon soiless substrate and was going to go two plants per planter but ended up shoving three seedlings in one and one in the other, because I'd also planted some Tesco spring onion offcuts in one to see how they'd do (there were half a dozen, down to two now - they got massive, regrowing from just the stub left from chopping off all the green stalks).
Didn't expect much but from planting in early November to the 4th of February now, I'm getting the first tomatoes (about an inch across) turning red.
I got a good germination rate (five out of six) and I don't know what's up with that specimen in the item description, but mine are more like bushes and I'm going to have to start hacking away at the leaves soon to let the light at the toms.
