Lol what does kangaroos have too do with tomato lol
I love your enthusiasm. I’ve honestly never planted tomatoes or well… anything really in my life. Today at school I decided to spend my lunch money on buying seven tomato plants, two parsley plants, and one squash.
Can you grow these tomatoes in a shady garden…or do they prefer lots of sun?
Do you think this guy is Australian? Because he’s southern English. Otherwise I can’t make sense of your comment.
how do you keep Kangaroos out of your garden? I don’t have that problem, I live in the USA, we don’t have Kangaroos.
Hopefully your are planting seed that you purchased. If you saved seeds from tomatoes that you purchased at the market you will be disappointed. They will most likely germinate and produce plants but any fruit that you get will not be true to the parent. What you see in the markets are all hybrids and do not reproduce true.
Back to the question. Start your seeds in 4″ pots with 2 seeds per pot. Keep them evenly moist – not soggy – and warm.. Once they germinate provide bright light for most of the day. When you plant in your larger pots cut the weaker seedling to soil level and keep only the stronger one. Bury 2/3 of the stem in the soil. Make sure your pot is large enough 14″ – 16″ or larger. Make sure the pots have good drainage and place them where they will get full sun 6-8 hours minimum. Plan to water frequently.
Good luck
I plant two and select the better looking one to stay if they both germinate. That way you’re less likely to have empty pots. Four or five seems to be a little too much.
two for the fox, two for the crow, two to rot and one to grow…
3-4 in potting mix, when seedlings reach 3-4 inches transplant into soil , add a spoonful of milk powder to the hole that helps to prevent powdery mildew later on.
