Step by Step to Plant Tomatoes

Planting tomatoes in our homes is very easy, as well as being a very economical option, and you will wonder what to do to grow tomatoes? Well, very simple, the first thing to do is locate the seeds of a tomato that has a good size, since a good harvest begins with a good seed, the quality of the seed is a very important factor so that at the end of the harvest it is excellent.

Place the seeds in the sun to dry and then make the seedbed, it is recommended to cover the seeds with about half an inch of earth.

It is essential to water them once a day to keep them moist until the appearance of the first buds, always being very careful not to move the earth too much.

Once the seeds germinate, it is recommended that the seedlings be about 15 centimeters high to be able to transplant them.

After having made the transplant we must perform daily care to make our plant grow, harden and root properly, because this plant has a branched stem and very little rigid, and if it grows a lot needs to be trained to keep it upright; for this it is necessary to count sticks of around a meter and a half in height to install them next to each plant to give it support and to grow correctly.

Approximately 2 months after having enhanced the transplant, the plant begins to flower and develop the fruits.

My plants have 2 months 2 weeks and it is not long before my tomatoes finish developing and begin to mature. It is not long before I start harvesting my tomatoes. Planting is very easy, it only requires a little time and care, but it is rewarding when you manage to obtain your own food and you are sure that they are totally healthy, healthy and without any type of chemicals that can be harmful to our health.
