Fill seed pots with a good-quality potting mixture, Note that the potting mix is not the same as potting soil. It is thinner than soil and normally contains peat moss, compost, vermiculite, perlite, and sand. It holds moisture but doesn't get soggy.

Be sure that the pots have drainage holes. Water the mix before planting.

Remove the seeds from a ripe tomato OR take the chopped slices of tomatoes or seeds. Plant 3-4 seeds in each small pot. Push each seed about 1/4 inch into the moist soil.

Keep the seed pots in the area, let it sit in a warm spot out of direct sun for about a week for germination.

Check the pots daily for sprouts. When you see little plants appear, place the pots to get about three hours of partial sun.

Keep checking the soil every day to make sure it stays moist. If the soil feels dry, spray water on the seedling. If you overlook to water the seeds, the seedlings will die. Too much water is dangerous for the plants, so be sure the pots are draining well.

Not all the seeds will germinate, and the pattern of growth will be uneven. If two or more of the seeds sprout in one pot, remove the thinner shoots when they are about two inches tall. Allow one strong tomato plant to settle in each pot.
