I have tried so many ways to get tomatoes to grow. Despite the fact they are supposed to be the perfect plant for a beginner, I have found that to be anything but the case. I’ve gotten a few to grow, but it has always been really tough, and the resulting tomatoes weren’t that great.
Where I seem to struggle most is just getting the seedlings started. I just discovered this video, though, and it changes everything!
