PART 1 Planting Seeds

1. The first step is to choose a good quality tomato seed that is suitable for your area, for more information, you can also visit the nearest gardening store.

2. Take a small (4-5 inch) pot, and put a mixture of 50% Vermicompost, 30% Cocopeat and 20% Garden Soil.

3. Take 2-3 tomato seeds in hand and put it on the top of the soil, and then cover it with a thin layer of the same potting mix.

4. Water it regularly, and place the pot in a place where the temperature is not less or more than 21C - 27C.

5. After about 1-2 weeks, at least one of the seeds should have been sprouted. You can transplant the tomato plant after it is 6 inches tall, in a 2 feet wide and tall pot. And make sure that the soil where the plant will be transplanted has at least 45% Garden Soil, 30% Vermicompost and 25% Cocopeat.

6. After transplanting, water the plant thoroughly.

PART 2 Growing and Harvesting

1. Put 1-2 sticks near the tomato plant to give it some support.

2. After it becomes big, you may see many small leaves growing from the middle of two stems. They are known as suckers, which uses up the extra nutrition from the plant, stoping the growth of flowers and fruits. Remove it whenever you see them.

3. Done! After about 60 days from flowering, the fruits will gradually grow and mature. You can harvest it after it turns red.

That’s it!
