Growing Tomatoes – Fruit seeds!
Gardeners can choose either to buy seeds or a plant grown for its part gardens. The more "pure", who insist on growing tomatoes from seed, however, should be aware of how to start the plant and take care of him as he matures.
The process starts inside a container. The first step is to obtain a seed starting mix and fill the container with it. Then create small grooves and drop seed in them. The seed starting mixture must be moist until the seeds are planted. Now, the seeds can be completely covered by soil and lightly watered.
seeds sown need a warm place to grow. And once the rods protruding from the earth, a good source of light is also necessary. This can be achieved either with natural light (as in a windowsill) or fluorescent bulbs.
It will take about one week to germinate plants, or leave the seeds. If you have multiple varieties of tomato plants on the package carefully, because they all seem at the time.
After one week in second place, the seed must come from the earth. You can see the baby cotyledon leaves at this time. They should be Green, a marker that receives the light it needs to grow well.
After one month it will be time to replant seeds. Begin to grow large enough demanding their own space to continue its growth. Transplantation of them raising seedlings from below, keeping their leaves gently while not. You gather all the young plants down and move its own container.
The new container must be higher than the previous but once more the land on which must be well moistened before the plant is placed inside. Dig a hold of the plant, then place in the container so the roots are completely covered. You can also bury some of the stem, such as tomatoes tend to grow new roots along the buried stems. Gently water the plants and ensure they hand in a warm and sunny.
Depending on the climate, plants may need to be kept indoors for a while. They can be planted on the button until As the temperature drops overnight is well above freezing. The cold can kill or rotting of the plant, so be sure is hot enough to do before the second transplant. Plant six to eight weeks to grow from a seed, but should not be initiated until two weeks after the expected last frost.
When hot enough, you can transplant outside. Just dig a hole for themselves, overturning the container plant is to ensure the plant in the hole again (a new burying part of the stem) and covered with soil.
Tomatoes are now large enough to require frequent, regular watering and cage or other support to grow. Tomato plants can be very large, as adequate support is essential.
When the tomato crop plants depends on the range of planted tomatoes. heirloom tomatoes should not be harvested before maturity, but the cut can be harvested at any time.

Faster and easy – Cherry / Tomatoes, Early Girl, Patio, and Big Boy. varieties more difficult – plum (Italian), inheritance, and yellow (but worth a try a variety of yellow for the sweetness and less acid content). Patio tomatoes are ideal for small spaces or containers, but have no flavor other varieties. Soak your seeds in a damp paper towel until they swell and / or entry to pop, and place in a mixture of planting (soil regularly and periodically, the same soil is too heavy and slow root growth, and most of the arable land contain no nutrints) two times deeper than the length of seeds (about 1 / 2 inch). Tomatoes like heat, so start your seedlings in a sunny window or under chassis cold. Do not worry if they become too leggy. When you have two sets of true leaves, they are ready for transplantation. Transplanting seedlings horizontally with only the top leaves on the ground (more well-developed roots in the stem.) Prepare the soil well by adding compost manure and peat. If the tomatoes are ahead your garden (or outside temperature), you can transplant into a larger pot until ready to leave – Bury the seed, and burying the plant when it goes off. As the seeds falling, you can also buy peat pots, etc. You can roll log cuplets too. Avoid using cardboard (egg cartons, rolls of paper towels, juice boxes) because they contain formaldehyde, chemicals and other toxic substances in their manufacture, and tomatoes are the most notorious of the absorption of harmful substances … If you do not kill or delay the first plant. If your plants are predicting the season, you can cut down the milk jug and use it as a small greenhouse and protector of the night. For the best tomatoes on the block, the toms around a "composite" ring – a circle in the center wire with plants also around, and continually throw grass clippings, weeds are not harmful, peat, etc. in the ring. Make a "good Jersey" from a soda bottle (with holes around the cylinder at different heights) and bury the bottle in the middle of the ground ring of compost and water and food through the bottle (tomatoes need constant moisture or you will get cracks in the flesh). As the plants grow, tie the thread in your compost support ring. (… And, no "e" at the end of the tomato, only in the plural).
