Grow Your Own Tomatoes

People say food always tastes better when you have grown it yourself. Try growing some delicious cherry tomatoes. The best time of year to grow tomatoes is toward the end of April when winter is over.

Steps

 * 1)  You can buy cherry tomato seeds in packets. Alternatively, scoop some seeds out of a cherry tomato you are eating. Rinse them in water and leave them to dry.
 * 2)  Fill empty yogurt cups with some soil. Push a tomato seed into the center of each cup just below the surface of the soil and cover it. Water the soil slightly.
 * 3)  Place your cups on a sunny windowsill. Check them every day, watering as needed so that the soil feels moist when you touch it with your fingers. Make sure you don't over water it. After about a week, you should see a tiny shoot appear.
 * 4)  After about four weeks, the shoots will have grown into tiny plants. Lift them out of the cups gently, taking as many roots as possible and taking care not to damage them. Transfer them to large flowerpots full of soil, gently patting them into position.
 * 5)  Keep checking and watering your tomato plants. After a few weeks, you should see some flowers appearing. Move the plants outside. These flowers will eventually fall off, leaving tiny green tomatoes.
 * 6)  When your tomatoes are bright red and feel slightly squishy, they are ripe and ready to pick and eat.
