So, I kinda love gardening! The only issue is, I have no ground to plant! But of course I don't let this stop me! We have a large balcony so my gardening is all done in pots. One of my favorite things to grow is tomatoes. You can never have enough and you can always puree and freeze them. My favorite are those really funky delicious heirloom tomatoes. The most simple way to grow them is this:
Go to your local farmers market or grocery store and purchase an heirloom tomato. When you slice it on the cutting board, don't throw away the seeds, plant them. : ) I slide them straight from the cutting board to the soil in a pot. Water them all winter and by spring you will have some nice little plants to put outside in larger pots.
I just planted these in a larger pot outside and I'll keep you posted on how they grow!
Do you rinse the seeds before you put them in the pot?
nope, i just go straight from the cutting board to the pot.
how are they doing? I have one big tin pot and it I have cherry tomatoes, Mojito mint, spicy basil, sweet basil. They grew amazingly and I use them almost everday.
