how to start tomato plants at home

 Cultivation of delicious tomatoes



Tomatoes and onions are the vegetables we add to our daily diet. If we want the taste to be added to our food to be good we can do natural farming instead of chemical farming. We can grow the tomatoes we need ourselves in the backyard or on the terrace of our house. We will see how to grow a delicious tomato plant in this article.


Choose a good tomato plant and variety


Do not choose too thin seedlings, you can choose small tomato seedlings except tall tomato seedlings. Also, avoid plants with high roots. Or you can buy seeds and sow them directly. There are over a hundred varieties of tomatoes and you can choose the one that suits your needs.



Indeterminate tomatoes (most heirlooms) will keep growing until frost and ripen fruits over a longer time period. Mine easily reach 6 feet tall. (See tomato supports below.)


Some of our favorite varieties that fall into the early-producing, small, or cool-weather tolerant group include Stupice, Sungold Cherry, Amber, Scotland Yellow, Granadero, and Green Zebra. For more ideas for a broader array of climates


Light


Choose an area with at least 6 hours of sunlight to grow the tomato plant in your home garden. Thus more tomato fruits will come and taste better.

Tomatoes like warm weather, so northern growers can improve growth by creating a microclimate for their plants.

Soil

It is your soil or soil mixture that can determine the color, size, and taste of your tomatoes. Maybe if the soil is not right we will not get the expected yield. If planting in a pot in the home garden, earthworm compost, coco peat, and sand can be mixed in equal proportions and planted. When planted in the ground, earthworms can be mixed and planted.


Mulching Tomatoes



Mulching is essential for the tomato plant. Mulching can also be done with a home garden newspaper. Keeps the soil moist, prevents weeds, and protects the tomato fruit. Newspaper or paddy straw, peat moss can also be put.


Tomato Watering


Buy and keep a soil wet meter that will help your home garden, which only needs more water in the summer. When there is a lack of water, the plant and the fruit will explode. Water gently once every two or three days to moisten the floor.


Things to look out for in your tomato plant daily



1) Choose good tomato plants

2) Choose a good place to plant tomatoes at home.

3) Mulching around the plant should be forced

4) When planting tomato seedlings, apply good natural fertilizer.

5) Plant the tomato seedling deep and the new root will spread well and grow

6) Look at the temperature and the soil and let the water.

7) Once the plant has grown large, remove the underlying leaves.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

Image
It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1. Desert rose The thick, fleshy leaves of this succulent retain water, so you don't need to water as often. The desert rose gets its name from its habitat and its resemblance to a rose. 2.
