With step-by-step pictures of how to plant tomato seeds and how you can grow them

Method 4-4 Cultivation in the home garden:

Choosing a place: Searching for the best place in the garden to plant tomatoes, which is an important step in the planting process. Tomatoes need direct exposure to the sun daily for 6-8 hours whenever possible. Also look for areas with good drainage, because water accumulation will reduce the flavor of the tomatoes.

Preparing the soil: You must create the best conditions for tomatoes to grow. Determine the pH of the soil and if it will need any additives. Tomatoes need the pH to be around 6-8. You can mix fertilizer and nutrients into the soil. If you plan to plant tomatoes several months ago, it is best to prepare the soil with fertilizer and adjust the acidity level before planting.

Dig holes: the distance between each row and the other is as you prefer. If you prefer to leave the plant to spread, it is preferable to space the holes between each one at 4 feet. Regardless of the distance left between them, the depth must be about 8 inches for the trunk to settle completely.

Adding more nutrients: Sprinkle the bottom of each hole with a tablespoon of Epsom salts to increase magnesium levels, which helps produce healthier plants.

Planting tomatoes: Plant each plant that was in the container in the drilled holes and press the tomatoes firmly into the soil to remove any air bubbles present. Cover the plant up to the stem with soil.

Placement of cages: You can place cages over the tomatoes. The cages can be made of concrete or a wide, continuous wire mesh.

Watering plants: You can keep plants healthy by watering them daily. If you do not have time for daily watering, consider using drip irrigation in the garden.

Preserving tomatoes: You can preserve tomatoes by pruning them regularly and harvesting the fruit using pruning shears and preparing the branches.

Harvesting tomatoes: When tomatoes begin to appear, they are ready for harvest. It is preferable to choose tomatoes when they reach full maturity. Tomatoes can be picked early and left to ripen indoors in sunlight if you anticipate bad weather or have a lot of fruit. You can eat tomatoes fresh or freeze them.

advice :

Tomatoes are very easy to grow  but they can be very fragile so when you move around them try not to break them, bend the stem or pull off a leaf which will kill the plant. This plan helps in obtaining a sufficient and healthy amount of tomatoes.
