My precious... Tomatoes

By far the most demanding are the tomatoes, but they are the best.
There are dozens of tomato types, but not that many that can grow nicely in the balcony. Last year I had cherry, but they grew a bit more than expected (last picture here), and they needed loooooots of attention.
Fortunatelly i found some tomato seeds that are suitable to be grown in a pot, do not require too much attention, is very resistant and it offers very sweet tomatoes, cherry size. It is called Vilma, and you can search for a shop near you on google.
Ok, now to work.

I took 6 plastic water glasses, made holes at the bottom (very important to drain the excess water).



Fill with soil until you have around 3 fingers left. Place the seeds, I put 1-2 per glass, but they should be one by one.add again soil until there is 1 finger left. Press gently to fix the seeds.




They can be moved in the final pot after they have 2 good leaves, but we'll see then.
Water, put it on the window still, and maintain the soil wet.
That's it. Have fun!
