Steps on starting tomatoes from seed

HI Gardening Friends

Here is how you can start Tomatoes from seed First you need to get your seed catalogs out and decide which Tomatoes do you want to plant?

Do you want to start Early Tomatoes Mid season Late or Heirloom varieties.

Now as always you need to have sterilize flats so that you don"t get any problem with your seedling damping off Now the next step is to fill your flats after they were washed and let dry now you fill the flats half full of germination soil and then soak the flats and let drain Next you can get your.Tomatoes

seeds packets and start to sow your seeds after you broadcast your seeds

across the seed flat you can take some germination mix and cover the seeds

about a 1/4 of a inch of soil then you take the flat and mist the flat and either

set the flat in the greenhouse bench and if you don't have a greenhouse you came put the flat on a heated propagation mat. And a grow light. It usually takes about 10 to 14 days for the Tomatoes seeds to germinate.

Here are some varieties of Tomatoes that you can try to grow from seed.
