Namaste to all gardeners and plant lovers!
Remember my tomato plants from this season? This time I planted a tomato in the most natural way by crushing it with my hands and planting it in little loose soil near the edge of a pot. This pot is also kept in a place where it gets good sunlight for about 4-5 hours a day.
All the seeds germinated in about 8 days, and after about 20 days, almost all of them had true leaves, which is good growth. However, I had to wait for a few more days before transplanting them, as I have noticed many times that transplanting very small plants drastically reduces their chances of survival.
In the picture above, you can see the growth of these plants after about 40 days. Now most of them have grown to about 6 to 8 inches in height and this is the right time when they need transplantation, but very carefully because their roots should not be damaged.
Here, with the help of a gardening trowel, I dug the soil a little deep and took out this plant and you can see that its main root is completely intact.
Now comes the turn to prepare it for planting in another bigger pot. Since the root development of a tomato also takes place from its main stem and this plant gets a lot of nutrition and strength from its roots, hence I want to plant it at some extra depth, for which I will have to remove some of its upper leaves along with its true leaves.
Here in the before-after, you can see that after removing some of the newer sub stems on top with the true leaves, I can now plant them an extra 3 inches deeper. Remember last year when I made 2 reusable grow bags? I planted some of these baby tomato plants in those two grow bags at a distance of about 8 inches.
These are the total 8 plants that I transplanted yesterday evening and just by looking at them, you can understand that I have kept most of them under the soil. I have read a lot about this method and it seems that this time these plants will grow very well because the quality of the soil is also good, for the first time my plants have been sown at the right depth and this time I have also learned some tips which I will apply on them as they grow big.
I Hope you enjoyed my Gardening and Phone Photography! :)

That's amazing my friend, you transplanted your tomato seeds with the roots intact, and they are growing so well now that's amazing ❤️
Hope they keep growing like this and bear lots of fruits as well! :)
Hopefully that's what all farmers hope for my friend ❤️
Good morning, Mr. @untilwelearn
My grandfather had a garden for a long time, and we've planted tomatoes. It's always a good idea to wait a little longer, until the plants are more developed for transplanting.
These tomato plants look beautiful.
I wish you much success.
Growing veggies at home is a lot of fun. Thank you for the wishes. :)
Amazing garden Indeed!!!
Thank you! :)
Thanks to you
Hi, you can see the improvement in the plant, the color changed and the root looks stronger.
I watered my bushes today, and I saw that there are some that I should make a love to.
And I don't know if it's because of the time of year, but my rosemary bush, it dried up.
I'm going to make a change, see if they improve, I'm inspired to see the improvement of your mata.
Happy day.
We all move forward by learning. Gardening is not difficult provided you want to do it with all your heart. As far as I know, rosemary likes sandy soil with proper drainage and sunshine all day long. I am sure that you will take the best care of your plants and your plants will flourish.
Happy day to you too! :)

Will it ideally take around 2 months time for the tomatoes to grow. I will like to do this in the next season. Also what will be the right time to start beginning to plant. In lonavla it rains very heavily so no veggies grow between the month of June to Sept. For next season I will like to do it well, this time I relied on the gardener, he did a fair job but did mess up also on some of it.
Will you have idea in red soil what will grow well in heavy rains.
Can I have your number please?
Thanx for sharing the banana tip, I will remove the baby plant.
Fruiting takes about two and a half months. However, this time also depends on whether the plant is getting enough nutrition and sunlight. Waise to aap saal bhar kabhi bhi uga sakte ho tamatar par mere anubhav ke adhaar par sardiyon ke thik baad Feb to March ka samay best hota hai kyunki jaise-jaise ye paudhe bade hote hain waise-waise garmi bhi badhti hai aur kyunki tamatar ko dhoop bahut pyari hoti hai to inki fruiting bhi acchi hoti hai. Aap bas itna dekhkar paudhe laga lo ki inki growth ke sath inhe kam se kam 3 ghante ki dhoop mil jaye.
Covid ke baad se yahan bhi baarish bahut hone lagi hai, paudhon ko isse bachane ke liye aap kisi tarah ki shade ka istemaal kar sakte ho. paudhon ko mausam ke us badlaav se jyada nuksaan seedhe heavy baarish padne se hota hai. Sorry, I have no idea about red soil and I think even plants have no idea about all this and as long as they get proper and complete nutrition they flourish. Gardening itni bhi mushkil nahi hai, aap positive mann ke sath paudhe lagao aur unke sath acchi baate karo dekhna wo flourish karenge. :)
Aur number ke liye check your discord!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Ya, the tomatoes did start growing very well after Jan.
Sure I will check Discord. Thank you for sharing
