Cover the slice with premoistened soil

 

Fill the pot with soil and give it a good spritz with water. From here we have two options:

 

You can cover the pot with plastic wrap and poke holes to create a mini greenhouse.

 

Or if you’re like us, you chuck it in a corner of your porch and hope for the best.

 

Place in a shady spot and keep moist

 

Keep the pot out of direct sunlight, but allow plenty of indirect or diffused sunlight. Water frequently if outside and mist daily if inside/uncovered.

Transplant to LARGE pot

 

Once your tomatoes have sprouted, separate the seedlings and plant no more than two in 10-gallon planters and place a cage or trellis for the vines to climb up. **Never let the fruit touch the ground, it will rot before it ripens.

 

After about 4-8 weeks you should have a mature plant ready to bear fruit! Happy planting.
