Growing Tomatoes from Seed

Growing tomatoes from seed not only saves you money, but it allows you to grow any kind of tomato you can find. UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture Natalie Bumgarner shows how to plant and care for tomato seeds up to the point they are ready to go into the garden. She talks about what you need including containers, soil, light, and fertilizer. She also talks when to plant indoors so the plants are ready at the same time the weather warms up.
