Any green thumbs want to advise?
So I'm trying my hand at growing organic roma tomatoes..... indoors. I have an apartment and no yard, but I've really wanted to try it. I started the seeds in a wet paper towel and plastic bag a week ago, and just planted the sprouts last night.
Right now, they're in cow manure pots under a grow light, in 50/50 worm castings and organic potting soil.
The guy at the co-op didn't seem confident about growing inside. Neither did my mom. What do you think? I'll probably XP this on G&L too.
Re: Any green thumbs want to advise?
Roma tomatoes are indeterminate, meaning they're basically a vine. I grew Romas last year and they grew well over the top of their 4 foot supports. I'm not sure how one could grow tomatoes strictly inside under a grow light. If you have a porch or a balcony, once the seedling has 2-3 true leaves transplant it into a large pot with a stake for support. We grow cherry tomatoes in pots even though we have a garden, they seem to like it that way.
Also, I don't know where in the country you're located but here in VA it's too late to be starting tomatoes from seed. Tomatoes should be started from seed indoors 8-10 weeks before you last frost date, and transplanted outside 1-2 weeks after the last frost. Our last frost date is April 30 here in Zone 7 in VA, so we started our tomatoes from seed indoors in early March. They've been in the ground since Mother's Day and are about 12-15" tall.
