Ever wondered how to grow this fruit? well this is how you do it.
Ok then the Tomato is a fruit, find out how to grow it right here! So I will tell you how to grow it in 8 steps.
Go out and buy the seeds, any gardening shop should have them.
Put 3 or 4 seeds into a small pot and store in a warm place, water every 2-3 days
Once the seeds have germinated the stalks will still be too weak to plant out, so transfer them into bigger pots but not too big and store in a greenhouse or a warm place with sun and no wind. Water every 2-3 days just like before.
Soon enough the stems will get stronger so transplant them into bigger pots which will need to have been filled with a mixture of compost and soil. Give them some water and position where the sun will shine for long periods of the day.
The tomatoes will grow and you will need to water most probably nearly every day and also give the plants some tomato feed every day.
You will eventually see flours appearing on the plant, this means that they will soon be fruiting. Keep on feeding and watering the plants.
Soon the flowers will turn to green solid fruit, this is not ready to harvest so just keep on feeding and watering.
Now you will have red tomatoes, this is ready to harvest. Just pick the tomato off the stem.
