How to grow Tomato Plants from Seeds
By admin | April 16, 2008
Most home gardeners have this crop in their garden, Tomatoes. Sunlight, patience and enough water is all that’s needed for success, really.
Tomato plants are wonderful to grow in the summer. Check with your local nursery or other websites to find the most hardy and disease-resistant variety of tomato plants. Mix the soil with compost and rotten manure and super phosphates for optimal growth. Another balanced fertilizer would be 6:3:2 which should be mixed well with the soil before the process. If you have no access to fresh manure, consider using a suitable balanced fertilizer, or use your vacuum cleaner fluff, as posted here.
Plant the tomato seeds in a sheltered and frost-free place, inside on your window sill perhaps. When the seedlings are about 10-15 cm in height, they can safely be transplanted. Choose only the strongest tomato plants. Water with a fine spray early in the morning. For optimal growth, insure that the tomato plants receive maximum sunlight. Plant in cages or special stakes to support vertical growth.
