Kings Seeds Tomato Moneymaker
Moneymaker is probably the most famous variety of tomato. Well know for its heavy crops of medium size, red fruit of average flavour, it is a very reliable variety to grow. This variety first rose to fame (as such) in the 60's and 70's for its flavour and uniformity and has been a much loved variety by home gardeners ever since.
When to Sow Moneymaker Tomato Seeds

Where to Sow
Sow seeds underglass 0.5cm (1/4 in) deep in pots or trays of good seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator at a temperature of 18–21°C .
What to do next
Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into 9cm (3 1/2in) pots. Transplant to the greenhouse border soil, or individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high.
