  • How to start seeding tomatoes?

    If you’re planning to seed tomatoes, take note: they’re not fond of frosty, cold climates. So, make sure to allocate the seedlings indoors for safer growth. They’re warm weather plants and love a little heat.

    The ideal temperature for the soil should be close to 16ºC/60F, which is the ideal for tomato seedlings to stay cozy, warm and prepared to grow. In case you don’t own a soil thermometer, thrust a finger into the soil and make sure it’s not cold.

  • Can you grow tomatoes indoors?

    Not only you can, but you should! As we’ve mentioned, tomatoes love warmer climates. On winter, they can get weakened easily, so make sure your home has a nice space for them (you can accommodate them in a container garden, which provides enough room for one or more seeds).

    Remember to always provide enough light: tomato plants need at least eight hours of sunlight to produce!

  • When indoors, don’t let them thirst!

    If you won’t place your tomato fruit outside, be aware that it won’t receive natural pollination. So, from time to time, use seaweed water tonic or liquid comfrey to nurture the seed and allow it to transport water and shallow roots, then it can absorb the proper nutrients. If their leaves start to become yellow, it’s watering time!

  • Most popular tomato types:

    The most popular types of tomatoes you can find are:

    • Beefsteaks: an excellent add for sandwiches, salads, and pizza! They’re much, much longer than the other types, so make sure to arrange proper space for the plants to grow comfortably (make sure to thin the seedlings excesses also).
    • Plum: The Italiano, traditional tomato that goes great with cooking (especially, as a delicious topping for pasta).
    • Cherry: a really small version of tomato plums, which provides a sweeter taste in meals (and, also, when eaten alone).

  • How to water tomatoes?

    Watering a tomato is important since it’s a really thirsty fruit. To prosper, it requires hydration on a regular basis, so make sure to water it and observe when it’s becoming too dry.

    You don’t need to be a “green thumb” to have a nice, well-cared garden. You need to be an amazing observer! So make experimentation, even though is not rocket science: when it’s drooping or its leaves are becoming yellow, water it. Day by day, you’ll learn on how to take care of your baby tomato.

    We recommend watering the fruit itself and its leaves since they transport the water to the roots – in this case, pour pure water and not mixed with fertilizers since they can burn the leaves.

    If you’re mixing the water with any chemical or fertilizer, pour it directly at the soil where the roots are (especially at the dawn or evening, which provide the necessary condition to foster and thrive).
