youre very welcome! i start my giant tomato seeds about the same as regular tomato seeds, sometimes though if you want the maters for fall competition start them about a month later than normal this way youll have good tomatoes come october!ps i usually use small pete pots and a good starting mix to start seeds in sometimes i use a heat matt under them set on 80 degrees till they germ but usaully just sit in a sunny window till they germ good luck and god bless ya keith
