10 STEP EASY GUIDE FOR GROWING CHERRY TOMATOES FROM SEEDS INSIDE THE FRUIT

1. Take yellow or red cherry tomatoes from your salad box. 1 or 2 each is enough.
2. Slice them thinly so that each section contains a few seeds.
3. Lay them over a layer of garden soil-vermicompost-tissue paper(to absorb the juice).
4. Cover with another thin layer of compost or soil.
5. Do not cover thickly otherwise the seedlings will not be able to poke through.
6. Water just enough to keep them damp.
7. Place under indirect light. Direct sun can kill germinating seeds and tender seedlings.
8. Wait for 5-7 days for germination to begin. This can take longer in cold weather.
9. Spray Epsom salt after 15 days for stronger cherry tomato seedlings.
10. Let them produce at least 2-3 sets of true leaves before you move them into tomato cages.
