Karachi and coastal Sindh October to November. Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar February to March. Murree, Swat, Abbottabad and Quetta March to April.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow in trays, 5 mm deep, in a light seed mix. Do not direct-sow — tomatoes transplant better than almost anything else.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–10 days at 21–27°C.

Water at the base, never over the leaves, and water evenly — swinging between dry and flooded is what splits fruit and causes blossom end rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 70 days from transplant.
