Must tomato seeds "start indoors"?

1 Answer

Answer :

The reason they say start them inside is that to get them to the point where you will have tomatoes, it will take more time than the average outdoor growing season. From seed to fruit, you need more time than the length of the summer. If you were living in Florida, you could do that, but not in IL.
