Can someone tell me from start to finish how to grow tomato plants from scratch?
The above methods will work fine, but if you want to get a jump on the season, start your seeds indoors about 4-6 weeks before it is safe to plant outdoors. For best results, use a germinating (heat) mat and grow lights. When ready, put outdoors in the shade for several days so they will become used to the sun.
For earlier and bigger tomatoes, pinch out the suckers - those little shoots coming from between the stem and the leaves. For larger crops and later tomatoes, leave them alone.
If your soil is prone to disease and fungi. remove the leaves and branches from the ground to about one foot, and that will allow for better air circulation and d rying. Don't water so late in the day that the foliage won't completely dry before night time.
Reply:Have you tried the simple method of going to the store and getting the seeds and putting them in the ground and giving them water on a daily basis?
Reply:plant your seeds and keep them watered tomatoes grow themselves basicaly... depending on where you live, you might get bugs, use a tomatoe bug spray, and tomatoes won't grow in temps. higher than 95, its hard to grow them here in las vegas, but i have some good ones growing now...
