Forget tomato seeds. Just plant a few slices from the store. Here’s how

Tomatoes are ready to harvest when they are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch. Gently twist or cut the fruit from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. Enjoy your homegrown tomatoes fresh, or use them in your favorite recipes.

If your seedlings are not thriving, consider factors such as light, temperature, and watering practices. Leggy seedlings may indicate insufficient light, while yellowing leaves could suggest overwatering. Adjusting these conditions can help improve plant health.
