Tomatoes are one of the small trees that can grow in the home garden and give a beautiful view as these climbing seedlings grow. Tomatoes, like any type of fruit, need a suitable environment in order to grow correctly and ripen with high quality.
There are many types of tomatoes, but one of the best types of tomatoes that grow in homes and in various types of soil are hybrid tomatoes, as they grow in a simple and easy way and succeed most of the time. Tomatoes need an ideal and very special atmosphere for growth.
Things to follow when growing tomatoes
- Choosing the type of tomatoes that we want to grow, as there are many types of tomatoes, each of which has a different growth environment, as tomatoes are used in many foods and dishes, and they can be eaten as they are or by adding them to sandwiches. It is preferable to choose fully ripe red tomatoes.
- Determine the type of seeds that are suitable for the place where tomatoes will be grown. It is preferable to choose what suits your climate in order to obtain good fruits.
- Determine the appropriate time for planting. You must determine what you want to grow tomatoes, prepare all the equipment, and preferably the soil temperature. It is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as this temperature is the most suitable for cultivation and obtaining a good product.
- Bring fresh, excellent tomatoes to get their seeds, as excellent seeds give excellent fruits.
Preparing seeds for planting
- We prepare excellent red tomatoes and divide them into parts, then take out the seeds inside them and put them in a small strainer.
- We place the seeds in a bowl, put a little water on it, cover it with a piece of gauze, and then place it in the sun until it dries completely. After three days, you will notice a layer on top.
- We remove the upper layer, put the seeds in a strainer, wash them well, and leave them to dry again.
- We sterilize the seeds by adding half a spoonful of vinegar to half a liter of water and leave it for 15 minutes.
- We dry the seeds again and completely, and they must dry completely so that they do not rot and bacteria do not grow on them.
How to grow tomatoes
- We prepare containers for growing tomatoes, which are a board cut into sections, and we place a row of seeds, leaving a distance of 2 cm between one seed and the other.
- We put a layer of soil in the pot, then put the seeds, then put a layer of soil.
- We place the containers in the appropriate place, provided that there is light air and warm sun.
- Tomato seeds need to grow their first leaves from a week to ten days. After that, we take out the seedlings after they have formed several leaves and plant them in the regular soil in the home garden and in the appropriate weather.
- Water the soil twice a day for the first week and so on until you get good tomato fruits.
