Thank you so much for a straight-forward video that covers the entire process from seed to a mature plant. I especially needed info about the phase between seedling and planting the mid-size plant in the garden.
Best video every, no skip required because it was clear and precise with instructions and images to show what stage your at and what you should follow through with to make sure they are happy… side note I already knew they needed heat but within 5 days 3 had sprouted and I wasn’t sure if they were weeds since I planted 14 seeds and only those three grew when it said it would take 10-14 days to show. Other side note this is my first time growing vegetable and I have a 7 year old as my partner in crime. I have no idea how to grow tomatoes only succulents… so glad this video shows the images and is very clear.
Thank you for your video! I planted tomatoes, peppers and eggplants last year. She showed her experience on her channel. I thought I was the only one who didn't know anything. It turns out that many people need your skill. Thanks again 🙏
RandomFin I have millet growing in my shower drain because my bird showers with me and she had a little millet seed in her nostril that she sneezed out. Also, that’s exactly how I grow fruits - I gather moldy fruit and just toss them into an area in my yard and wait to see what grows. Usually the animals get them, but I have a 12 foot tall apple tree from this method. she’s still young - only about 3 years old, and she had a rough start at life because she caught some disease that made my dad have to cut her down, but she sprouted a healthy branch and is budding right now, and I have mason bees about 5 feet away so they can pollinate. I have only seen 1 honey bee in my yard because someone down the street keeps them, but I haven’t had much luck in the past. My fingers are crossed. I can’t keep bees because kids are always playing outside less than 100 feet away from my yard in my neighborhood, and I’m afraid that one of them is allergic and might die if they get stung in some freak accident, so I try to minimize that risk.
I live in the Philippines, our weather makes that tomato magic in our backyard too. We throw seeds in our front yard and voila,tomatoes are growing and bearing fruits.
I followed another video on here asking the same question. What I did was remove the seeds from a ripened tomato, separating them from the pulp and that gooey part as much as possible, but it's best to leave some of that pulp on them for the next part. Then you put the seeds in a container with water and close the container with a coffee filter or paper towel on top. Let the seeds ferment someplace out of direct sunlight for 3-5 days. The water should turn a little murky and even have a white mold sprout on top which shows the fermentation process is working. Then transfer the fermented seeds to tepid/warm water and let them separate out. The bad seeds and all the pulp and mold will float to the top, and the viable seeds will sink to the bottom of the container. Strain them out and lay out the seeds on a sheet of paper towel or a plate to dry. They'll have sprouted little "hairs" all over them, which will help them take root. Let them dry out completely for a few days and then put them in an envelope for next spring!
informasi yang luar bisa, mendapat banyak pengetahuan tentang cara membuat usaha penanaman tomat yang sangat subur dan menghasilkan banyak buah sehingga mendapatkan hasil maksimal
My Uncles who grew up in Italy always grew Great Tomatoes &Peppers Never heard of using any Heat Mats or any Growing Lights he said just started them in his kitchen Window sill with full sun then trans planted them right into his Garden, Always had the biggest juciest Tomatoes & Peppers, The point I am making is about using Heat Mats and growing lights which run into some expensive Bucks And they do not have to be used etc. Thanks for sharing etc
Depends on how many you need and what your uses are. When I started 9 years ago, I used my kitchen window sill as well. Worked perfectly. Fast forward to now, where I have 32 nursery trays dedicated to JUST tomatoes... And just seedlings. That tray # balloons to the hundreds when the tomatoes get moved on to 4" pots. I'd love to have a window sill large enough to grow them all, lol. What works for one person doesn't mean everyone should make that work.
Agreed I never used heat mats either but I lived in warm climates such as California and Florida. Heat mats are good for people who live in Canada for example.

how cool. i also did a similar one - on growing right from seeds - hope a useful complement to your amazing work!!
I just buy the plants at my local farmers market. But they don't always produce fruit so I wanted to try it from seeds this year. Thank you for the quick how to video.
Under these conditions you can give a really good chance that most seeds will sprout and grow well. In the wild these plants will spread thousands of seeds in large areas. Specifically plants that bear fruits like tomatoes intentionally want the fruit to be eaten by specific species of animal, because the fruit contains the seeds and as long as the animals digestive processes didn't destroy the seeds they eventually poop them out later in a fairly large area around the original plant. Due to sheer numbers of seeds they can afford only a fraction of the seeds to take a good hold. You could just plant them outside if your climate supports a long enough growing season, but carefully controlling the environment during this state of development helps to improve the odds a seed will become a healthy crop.
Don't kill those baby tomatoes where you have 2 come up.Saperate them while little and have twice as many.I won't ever kill them even if 5 came up in one cell.
generally you'll have alot of tomato seeds, especially if you keep last years. For me, it doesnt matter if i lose some seeds. I have hundreds more than I'll ever use.
In the gulf coast area near Houston we don't have a 6 week window of warm weather before it's time to plant. If you wait too late to plant, they won't produce because they will burn up. This might work in some parts of the country, but not in others.
Sorry but this is very complicated way ...I also grow tomato and all you have to do is put a seed into the pot of respectable size and just wait it for grow...
Not sure if you would respond to this, but if I used older potting soil that had questionable things in it and put new potting soil on top (in a pot, not a garden bed), should I be worried about "disease contaminates"? I don't have a garden, I just want to grow them in a 12 inch pot.
You can take one of the seedlings and transplant to another cell or to soil. All of them might not survive but you get more without removing half of them
You tear the roots and injure the seedlings trying to separate them. Also, because mature plants are supposed to be spaced at least 2 feet apart, one packet of seeds often has more than 2 or 3 times as many plants as most people fit in your garden. This is compounded when you are growing 3 or 4 varieties. The limiting factor is not how many seeds you have. It's how much space you have under the lights and how much time you have before outdoor-planting time. If you don't double up you will waste that limited space on empty pots, and by the time you realize it, you don't get those weeks back.
Check out my garden video. I just transplanted 12 of my heirloom oxheart tomato plants into my garden. I also have some yellow pear and chocolate cherry tomatoes, both started from seed. See how they are doing!
If u can coconut shells after removing the coconut in the halved shell, u find 3 eyes below. punch one eye. keep coconut coir on punched eye. mix compost n garden sand n water. keep doing for 3 days before sowing.
+Robert Samson I am currently growing coriander in a coconut shell but it has started to grow mold around the rim. Have you enountered/conquered this problem? Cheers :)
Or you can just plant the seeds and then when they get to about 3-4 feet tall or start to vine put a pole in the soil and tie the vine to the pole. Simple.
I'll soon be transplanting my tomato seedlings into 3" pots. I have the soilless mix they germinated in, perlite, vermiculite, and rich, mature compost from the composter which I've pasteurized and sifted. What kind of mix should I prepare for the transplants?
+Matty Pantaloons I'd start fertilizing with liquid plant food at half strength and ensure that your transplants have plenty of light. Boost the plants with compost at transplanting time.
When i plant my tomatos i add egg shells to the hole along with a small hand full of Epsom salt& slow release fertilizer.I planted 110 tomato plants and picked only 1 tomato all summer/fall that had blossom end rot.
hmm in my country philippines, were in a hurry and have no access of commerciql seedling trays or. its costly, we just squeeze the tomatoe fruit popping all seeds in one. container... cover with soil, it all sprouts and plant on the ground individually.. simple. as that
If one knows how to free rrobounnd plants, you can start your tomatoes from seed10 weeks before the last frost and under grwos light in paper half-gallon milk cartons --- with the garden transplants c. 14 inches deep.
You can just get cherry tomato, or any tomato slices and plant it in fresh soil about half an inch in the ground or one inch. Then, just water it slightly everyday.
Do u need the cells or can u grow them in one pot will they be affected at all? If anyone knows I would love an answer thx so much good luck everyone and stay safe
Have you ever tried a product called Spray N Grow? It is absolutely amazing - all organic and is applied to the stems and leaves of the plant to feed them. Any plant that I use Spray N Grow on, whether it is a flowering plant, vegetable, or even trees, they show immediate growth and if it is a vegetable, will produce many times the amount of fruit that they normally would. Several years ago we had an evergreen bush that was about thigh - waist high and was attacked by the orangey rust (perhaps spruce needle rust but I am not sure) that evergreens sometimes get. We were about to grub the bush out and plant another one when I decided to try Spray N Grow first to see what it would do. Amazingly it began to change in the first week, and by the end of that season the bush had been completely "healed." It is now as high as my shoulders and has been very healthy year after year. I am in no way connected to their company (out of Texas) but just thought you might like to look Spray N Grow up and see what you think. I believe you will be as amazed as we are if you try it. Thanks for the great video, by the way. I will be watching more of them. ;-]
Thanks for not rambling on and on about your love for plants and your life story for 20 minutes before you actually talk about how to grow tomatoes.

Thank you for your briefing 😀.
This is probably one of the most concise videos that I have come across for starting tomatoes from seed. Extremely helpful. Excellent job.
Finally, a clear, concise, succinct video. Thanks!
Thank you so much for a straight-forward video that covers the entire process from seed to a mature plant. I especially needed info about the phase between seedling and planting the mid-size plant in the garden.
How did your plants turn out using this method?
Best video every, no skip required because it was clear and precise with instructions and images to show what stage your at and what you should follow through with to make sure they are happy… side note I already knew they needed heat but within 5 days 3 had sprouted and I wasn’t sure if they were weeds since I planted 14 seeds and only those three grew when it said it would take 10-14 days to show.

I am glad I found this video. The others talk about their life story, where the soil came from ect. Thank you for a straight forward video.

Thanks for the no nonsense explanation, this is how all UA-cam videos should be.
Lmao, a tomato plant just grew in our backyard and i have no idea who planted it. I think someone accidentaly threw a tomato.
Fruitless tomato. That’s a neighbor trying to grow some weed on your property

And there's me, someone that actually is trying to grow a tomato but the seedlings are dying before it even sprouted the next set of leaves.
Great information. Covers everything that a beginner needs to know.
Thank you thank you! Tomorrow is exactly 6 weeks before the planting date for my zone so the timing is perfect. Never done this before, wish me luck!
Today I am planting mine :)
How has it gone so far anything yet germination?I would love to know I prepped the seeds and learning to grow them
To the point and well-explained. Thanks for the video guys 👍
Just planted some after I set them in a towel for about days and they are now they are sprouting!
This is great advice..i just started planting tomatoes and im excited to see the seeds sprout😀
Have they?
@@axelgarcia3266 yes, they're now 7 inches tall ,😁
How long did it take to see the sprouts?

In MN we have to harden the plants when they are ready to put in the ground.
Thanks alot my tomatoes growed
helpful infos in a shorter video. Thank you 🌱💚

Thanks that will help went I start planting .
Thank you for the helpful video! What are all of these lovely plants and flowers surrounding your tomato plants?
Right to the point, great video !!
Perfect video thanks!
Glad it helped!
Yep!
Thanks for sharing video explaining beautiful❤
Don't kill those baby tomatoes where you have 2 come up.Saperate them while little and have twice as many.I won't ever kill them even if 5 came up in one cell.
+N.E.Arkansas Trash Trucks&Lottery me too
I think that the idea is to kill off the weak ones and leave off the stronger ones to ensure that they'll produce a lot more tomatoes.
generally you'll have alot of tomato seeds, especially if you keep last years. For me, it doesnt matter if i lose some seeds. I have hundreds more than I'll ever use.

Thank you.
Thanks so much now I can get my tomato seeds growing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉👍
Thank you for the advice
I think i just felt in love
Brilliant simple video. Thank you
I planted 30 tomato seeds (2 per hole). I'm now waiting for them to germinate. 🌱🌱
UPDATE: One of my tomato plants started flowering
Best of luck!
I love tomato sauce
ok cool
Nice information 🙂
Thank you!
very simple but to the point!
It worked ..... Whooppeeee
Thank u sister for sharing...
i started 9 days ago it is november i am using hydroponics i am a mad man
dominic earl haha love you man
hi thanks, how long should i keep turn on the lights above of the young seedlings ?
Super
Thanks for being so thorough.
Very easy to follow, thank you!
Good video - clear and easy to understand. I sometimes keep the 2nd seed in a pot especially if it looks sturdy and I have room for the extras.
Nice job on the video. Very clear, thank you!
Can you do a similar video for pepper, too?

I am an organic grower, so when you say at 2 sets of leaves to add fertilizer, I simply add compost?
Nice
Those Cowpots are quite interesting! We don't have them here in Melbourne as far as I know...

this very helpful thanks soo much
i agree
Does anyone else love the aspect ratio?
Actually growing tomatto is very easy... thats is true
wow
crap i used the wrong soil.... MY TOMATOES ALREADY HAVE LITTLE GREEN SPROUTS!!! I put like 10-15 seeds in each tiny container :( Oh well wish me luck
Love Love i did the same and they are already 3inches tall lols its looks fine haha
When i plant my tomatos i add egg shells to the hole along with a small hand full of Epsom salt& slow release fertilizer.I planted 110 tomato plants and picked only 1 tomato all summer/fall that had blossom end rot.
hmm in my country philippines, were in a hurry and have no access of commerciql seedling trays or. its costly, we just squeeze the tomatoe fruit popping all seeds in one. container... cover with soil, it all sprouts and plant on the ground individually.. simple. as that

Nice tips! Just planted some beds and upside down tomatos😀👍
You can just get cherry tomato, or any tomato slices and plant it in fresh soil about half an inch in the ground or one inch. Then, just water it slightly everyday.
Interesting video. Thank you!
I'm a bad grower lol. But also new...I can only get my plant seeds to sprout, but then later they droop like they dried or died):
Do u need the cells or can u grow them in one pot will they be affected at all? If anyone knows I would love an answer thx so much good luck everyone and stay safe
I'm still waiting for the tomatoes to come it's been a few months.
They may need fertilizer...

When using the grow light for how long should it be under the light ?
6-8 hours
Why do you Bury the pot in the trench on its side and then bend the stem?
