growing tomatoes in texas in pots
From the outside of tomato seeds?
Hello, I have some tomato seeds from Baker Creek Co. (rareseeds.com) Icicle pink and silver, and called on the starting methods. I know that the best way is to start in pots or trays in a light phones to grow by 6 to 8 weeks. But I live in Houston, Texas, where the climate at this time of year is in constant 65-80 degrees. I wondered if the seeds grow out of the case put out just after germination. Or if only to bite the bullet and go buy a fluorescent light today ….. Thank you for everything and all the answers!
I've never grown one variety but I grew up many more. In Florida, they usually start inside my seeds and transplant after last frost, but we have planted seeds directly and with excellent results. That the main problems with no-till tomato is the time it takes to get a crop, more than two months from planting to harvest Tomatoes, first. Select your site and prepare the ground for planting. Plant the seeds as recommended in the package for spacing and depth. Set 3 seeds in space and cut a paper towel tube into pieces about 3 inches long. Place the tube around the seeds, buried about 1 1 / 2 to 2 inches deep. This will avoid cutting to cut the plants as they emerge. Once the seeds have germinated and are only a few inches above the highest point in each group of plants and eliminate others. If they all seem healthy to be attracted by the group of eight, separated in individual plants and transplant them into their own space. If you do the method of transplantation to bury the mother for the second set of leaves above. The mother has become more rooted and have a strong root system to support the plant. Once the plant is well established that it can remove the collar tube, or leave it in place, your choice. Good luck and have fun!
