How to Grow Tomatoes from Seed
- Tomatoes are very easy to grow from seed.
- You should start you seeds indoors using seed starting pellets.
- Keep the soil warm and dark until the seedlings appear.
- Put them on top of your refrigerator to keep them warm.
- It’s important to note that light/sun isn’t crucial until the seedlings have popped out of the soil.
- They usually poke their heads out of the soil in about 7-10 days.
- As soon as the tomato sprouts appear, move the plants to a brighter yet cooler location.
- This is where they’ll need the light to continue growing nicely.
- The best time to grow tomato seedlings is at about 70ºF during the day and no lower than 40ºF at night.
- This promotes strong root development.
- As your tomatoes continue to grow (4″ tall), transplant them to larger pots.
- Bury them a bit lower into the soil than you would most other vegetables.
- About 2-weeks before you plan to transplant them into the garden, you should begin ‘hardening’ the plants a.k.a. getting them used to living outside and away from adult supervision.
- Move the pots outside in the shade during the day and then bring them back inside at night.
- This is the easiest way to get them to thrive and adapt to their current growing conditions.
- This is a VERY IMPORTANT step.
- You should always ‘harden’ tomato plants before transplanting them into the garden.
- This even needs to be done with Tomato plants you would have payed for at a local nursery.
