Growing Tomatoes at Home: A Complete Guide
Growing your own tomatoes is one of the most rewarding things you can do in a small garden. In this guide, we will walk you through every step, from choosing the right seeds to harvesting juicy fruit at the end of summer.
Why grow tomatoes at home?
Store-bought tomatoes are often picked before they are ripe. When you grow them yourself, you can let them ripen on the vine, which gives them a much sweeter flavor. You also save money and know exactly what went into your food.
- Better taste and nutrition
- Lower cost over the season
- A fun project for the whole family
Choosing the right variety
There are hundreds of varieties. For beginners, we recommend cherry tomatoes because they grow fast and forgive most mistakes. Our favorite brand is GreenThumb Pro, which sells organic seeds.
