Start Your Tomato Seeds Now To Get A Head Start On Spring! Part 1 of 3. Tomatoes are the most popular garden crop of all time. They are easy to grow, transplant well, come in a zillion different varieties, and are delicious. Everyone loves growing them!
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere however, your growing season is finite, and often too short to properly ripen tomatoes that are directly seeded into the garden. Starter plants are expensive, so you need a plan! The plan is simple, start your own tomato seeds indoors, now during the winter, to get a head start on spring planting!
In this video, I show you from start to finish how to plant your own tomato seeds, at scale, so that you can be ready for spring, and have as many tomato starter plants as your garden can handle. The method works for any variety, and the strategies mentioned here are useful to beginners and veteran green thumbs alike!

Great tips friend!!
I am getting ready to start my seeds this week so this video was very timely!
I have a 1000 watt grow light coming this week and I am setting up my indoor grow environment too.
I gave you a mention in my sunday video too, so maybe you have a few new friends because of it 🙂
Awesome thanks. Tomatoes are mostly what we grow. I have a video on my channel of how I’m growing them over the winter in a $250 greenhouse I built. They are starting to bloom in February!
I have grown tomatoes from seed. I don't know what kind of tomatoes they were. The seed packet was small and clipped onto a card which was fastened in a magazine that I had subscribed to. The seed packet was just labeled as tomato seeds.
Usually, I just buy a plant instead of seeds. When I was able to garden at the community garden, bought two plants. Last year, I gardened in fabric pots right outside my front door. I just bought one tomato plant. I'm not sure if I will be able to garden outdoors this year. So, I'm looking for options to grow entirely indoors and still control access to the plants; because, I do not want my cat or dog to get into them.
My wife and I were discussing starting our tomatoes just before I fired up YouTube! Very timely Jeff, thanks as always!
Oh! and instead of packing each cell with my fingers, I use a second tray to pack all the cells down at once
I just… JUST…. moved my seedling from the mini greenhouse outside. They were getting so leggy and i was just trying to see if my store bought cherry tomato seeds would sprout. I am so excited to see if i get the yellow ones to come to fruit. Investment Level: ZERO. lol I believe we are past last frost (San Diego)… but will protect them from heavy rain. Getting ready to start another crop… to keep tomatoes on the patio.. i hope… thru Fall. 🙂
Awesome man! Makin me wish this stinkin winter would be DONE with! Great vid man!
I grow tomatoes too, but never tried the potted plant method. Growing really well too right now (Australia so not winter hah!) . But im loving your channel, the ginger growing video is something I plan on doing, plus many other things. Thanks for the content!

I use the bottom of my worm bed. Should i be doing anything different? I’m new to all this.
Running out of garden space for any more tomatoes? Think about trying them in pots and containers!: https://youtu.be/aW8S1aiTpNc
Great video but talking that way is extremely distracting. Makes it hard to focus on what ur actually saying. You'd be better off just speaking naturally and authentically.
I love your videos! I’m a beginner gardener and very confused.
I have a major question
If a thaw a frozen tomato and harvest the seeds… can it still grow
Could I use tomatoes seeds from tomatoes instead of packet
I find the info interesting but hard to listen to. Raising the pitch at the end of each sentence makes me feel agitated. But besides that… video is good!
Do you need to water it again after the initial soaking of the soil from below?
I have started to grow my tomatoes in a propagator in my green house is that ok for the tomatoes
Hi! I love your videos. I just want to know if i can simply use the fresh seeds from fruit without fermenting and drying?
I hate the way this dude talks, but god damn, if he doesn't, know what he is talking about.
i like the video but i need more information on how to take care of them during this time. do you water them twice a day or once? do you add any fertilizer and how often? please
