ᐅ Growing Your Own Tomatoes

Hello everyone,
since the gardening season is about to start again, I would like to know from you how to grow tomatoes myself. I love those small cherry tomatoes, but the ones from the supermarket often have little flavor. How can I grow them myself, is it difficult?

Tomatoes are already a standard part of our home gardening. Especially when growing more than 2-3 plants, the scent reminds me of past holidays in Italy with a family that grew a lot themselves, so the air always smelled like tomato plants.

Watch YouTube videos! I especially recommend the YouTube channels Selfbio and Selbstversorger Rigotti. Both have many excellent videos about tomatoes, covering everything from sowing seeds to nurturing the plants, transplanting, harvesting, and maintenance.

There you can learn everything you need to know. The only thing better might be training as a vegetable gardener.

I have an 18 m² (194 sq ft) greenhouse with, among other plants, 29 tomato plants inside. I’ve already harvested and eaten the first ones this year and am looking forward to when the main harvest begins 🙂

Please do not revive very old threads if the answer is already available via Google or in this thread. No one here wants to deal with a stale discussion. If you want to contribute, feel free to respond to more recent topics or start new ones yourself.

29 tomato plants, for heaven’s sake. Who’s going to eat all of that?
I hope you also planted plenty of white beans and have your mechanical ventilation system running at 100%.

Imagine that you can also preserve tomatoes 😉

Besides, that's not much. Next year there should be at least 50 plants!

The photo shows yesterday’s harvest. Just over 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) of tomatoes.

No, not white beans, just pole beans. 52 plants. They produce a good yield.

We don’t have a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery because it’s an older building.

Best regards
