Tomatoes are one of the easiest foods to grow yourself. Ultimately, it’s a straightforward process that doesn’t usually require a lot of maintenance. But a little planning and care go a long way to make sure your plants prosper and produce the best crop.
When to start growing
Temperature will dictate your steps in starting or transplanting tomato plants.
As seeds, they germinate best in warm temperatures. For the best growing conditions, the daily temperature should be consistently around 75 degrees, with overnight temperatures not falling below 55 degrees.
Tomatoes can be started indoors in starter trays of fertilized soil with plenty of sunlight. Seeds should be planted a month and a half to 2 months before the last frost in your area. In warmer regions, plants can be started later in the year.
Choosing tomato plants
In an indoor garden or small space, cherry, plum and little Napoli Romas are the easiest tomato varieties to grow. These plants are usually compact, and the fruit they bear is small.
Otherwise, decide between a determinate or indeterminate tomato variety. This will be indicated on the seed packet.
Determinate tomato plants, when mature, bear fruit for only a month or two before they stop growing and producing.
