Hi Mark, tomatoes are planted outdoors after the last frost date. In my Halifax region, that's in late May. If you wish to start the seeds indoors, plant them 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Hope this helps! Niki]]> In reply to Mark Colangelo.

Hey Kristin, Great question!! You can have them quite close to the trellis really, six to twelve inches away. When I stake them with a wooden stake, I have the stake just a couple of inches from the main stem. And your idea does sound lovely! You may need to pinch our suckers (I've got an article on this too) to 'train' them around the arch. Or, let them go up and become dense and bushy. Whatever you like. Good luck!!

And now, for a silly question… How close do you plant the tomato plant in relation to the actual trellis? First time gardening. I’m sure I’m way over thinking it here. 🙂 I have indeterminate cherry tomatoes I’m growing in raised bed with arched trellis in the bed. Hoping they will be lovely grown over the trellis, that is if I don’t mess them up from the start! Ha!
