A Complete Tomato Seed Starting Guide from Indoor Seeding to Outdoor Planting: Every Step In Between

Published 2022-03-03
I cover seed starting, supplies, lighting indoor/outdoor, watering, fertilizing, acclimating, and planting your tomato transplant outdoors. I use growth examples of tomatoes at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks of growth and provide other useful information to start your own seed starts and plant them outside. All the basics. Check out my playlist below for more details.

    There's nothing that I like growing better than tomatoes (peppers in 2nd place). I've watched this video 4 times already. I just love to see the process. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks Gary!
  • I have been learning so much from your videos. I really appreciate that there is no "fluff" in them. No unnecessary chatter. I just bought 2 copies of your book. One copy for me and one to give as a gift. Thanks for doing this important work.
  • Hi Gary, I miss your simple way to use foam cups and 5gl bucket for the low budget, please don't forget to show them it's always a pleasure to see you.😁👍
