Getting your homegrown indoor garden started:

Hello all,
     First of all I would like to thank you for checking out this blog.
I hope this guide will enable you grow juicy ripe tomatoes in the comfort of your own home for years to come. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me at leadinsteven@gmail.com

     Gardening is a proven stress reliever. It is also good to know where your produce is coming from. Additionally, organic homegrown produce will always taste better and be more fresh than any other produce bought from a store. An organic indoor tomato garden is a good way to start if you have little or no experience in gardening. Learning to grow your own tomatoes can be very rewarding.
The first thing you need to choose is a variety of tomato to your preference. There are many different types of tomato. Crack resistant tomatoes generally grow better indoors and make great sauce or paste. Cracking may occur in any tomato due to sunlight or overwatering.
