3. Grow your own tomatoes
You don’t have to buy tomato seeds if you want to grow your own tomatoes. All you need is a pot, potting soil and an overripe tomato. Cut the tomato into slices and fill the pot up to about three quarters with potting soil. Place the cut tomato slices in the pot and press lightly. Cover the slices with some soil and press again. Place the pot in a sunny spot and water the soil occasionally.
Once the seedlings come up, you can repot them. There is a good chance that dozens of tomato plants have emerged from the soil. If all goes well, one tomato plant can produce dozens of tomatoes. Four tomato plants are probably more than enough. Carefully repot four plants in separate pots and then allow the tomato plant to grow further.
