How to plant Tomato
How to plant and grow tomato's.
Step #1: Get Your Containers Ready for Planting
Tomato plants naturally love the heat, so gardeners advise sowing seeds indoors first before transplanting the seedlings outdoors in the soil.
Place your growing containers on a flat surface. Then add your potting mix, leaving about half an inch between the soil and the top
Step #2: Plant the Seeds
Place 2-3 seeds per container and space them apart with equal distance.
The tomato seeds should be planted about three times deeper than the size of the seed. This will be about 3-6 mm, depending on the tomato variety that you have chosen to grow.
After the tomato seeds have been planted, place the seedling containers in a warm place.
Step #3: Germination
After planting the tomato seeds, it is just a matter of waiting for the seeds to germinate.
The tomato seeds should germinate in one to two weeks.
Step #4: Caring for Your Plant
Once the tomato seeds have germinated, you can take the tomato seedlings off the heat source, but they should still be kept somewhere warm.
The tomato seedlings will need bright light and the soil should be kept moist.
