Fatty Seeds – Tomato
Tomato is a popular fruiting plant known for its juicy flesh, refreshing taste and naturally sweet, slightly tangy flavour. Commonly used in salads, sandwiches, soups, pasta and sauces, it is a versatile addition to everyday meals. Suitable for growing in large pots or garden beds, Tomato is a rewarding choice for home gardening.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, approximately 0.5–1cm deep. Transplant the seedlings once they develop 4–5 true leaves, spacing the plants 30–60cm apart. Provide a sturdy stake, cage or trellis to support the growing plant.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 6–15 days, and the tomatoes can be ready for harvesting in approximately 77–105 days from sowing. Harvest when the fruits have developed their mature colour and are firm but slightly tender. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.
-
Tomato grows best in full sunlight, preferably receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In Singapore's warm and humid climate, provide good air circulation and shelter from prolonged heavy rain. Water regularly at the base of the plant to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
