How do I grow tomatoes from seeds?
assistant
1. First, obtain a good quality of tomato seeds from a reliable provider.
2. Place the seeds in a container filled with warm water and allow them to soak for 24 to 48 hours.
3. After, prepare the containers for sowing the seeds by filling them with quality potting soil, fertilizing, and lightly moistening the soil.
4. Plant your seeds about 1/4
 • to 1/2-inch deep in the soil and space them between 10 and 12 inches apart.
5. Ensure that the soil is kept moist at all times.
6. Place the containers in an area that gets at least 6
 • 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
7. When the seedlings are approximately 3-4 inches tall, thin them out to the strongest plants so they are spaced at least 12-18 inches apart.
8. Fertilize your plants every few weeks and keep them adequately watered.
9. As the tomatoes are near to ripening, provide them with some shade to avoid sunscald.
