The tomato is the most important vegetable in the world, it is well known and consumed daily in most homes, since it has many culinary uses. This can be used to prepare salads, stews and especially to make sauces that we use for the preparation of Italian food such as pizzas, lazañas and cannelloni.

- Daily tomato consumption reduces the risk of hypertension.
- It contains vitamin A that helps improve vision.
- It helps intestinal health.

Step by Step to Plant Tomatoes
Place the seeds in the sun to dry and then make the seedbed, it is recommended to cover the seeds with about half an inch of earth.
It is essential to water them once a day to keep them moist until the appearance of the first buds, always being very careful not to move the earth too much.
Once the seeds germinate, it is recommended that the seedlings be about 15 centimeters high to be able to transplant them.
After having made the transplant we must perform daily care to make our plant grow, harden and root properly, because this plant has a branched stem and very little rigid, and if it grows a lot needs to be trained to keep it upright; for this it is necessary to count sticks of around a meter and a half in height to install them next to each plant to give it support and to grow correctly.
Approximately 2 months after having enhanced the transplant, the plant begins to flower and develop the fruits.
After 3 months the maturation process begins, the harvest of tomatoes will depend on a simple evaluation, regarding its color and consistency.
My plants have 2 months 2 weeks and it is not long before my tomatoes finish developing and begin to mature. It is not long before I start harvesting my tomatoes. Planting is very easy, it only requires a little time and care, but it is rewarding when you manage to obtain your own food and you are sure that they are totally healthy, healthy and without any type of chemicals that can be harmful to our health.
