Growing tomatoes in your yard usually involves buying seeds from the store to grow seedlings, or simply using a pre-potted plant to put the fruits together. But, here is a super budget-friendly and effortless way to grow tomatoes – you must be having a few overripe tomatoes resting in the fridge every now and then. Instead of dumping them, put them to an all new purpose by growing fresh tomato plants with them – the key is to transform them into little seedlings and watch the seeds grow into new tomatoes in just a matter of few days.

In the below video, The Wannabe Homesteader demonstrates the easiest method to harvest tomato seedlings, that too without going for any heavy gardening material or techniques. All you are going to need is a pot, some soil and one or more overripe tomatoes.

The first step is to cut the overripe tomato into four slices, followed by putting the pieces in a pot of soil. You need to cover the tomatoes with a thin coat of potting soil, and here begins the growth cycle. Water the pot regularly and no more than 7-14 days will it take for the seeds to sprout and yield about 50-60 tomato seedlings.

When you notice that the plant has begun to grow enough large, it’s time to pull the seedlings out and put them in another pot. That’s all the effort that’s needed to harvest homegrown tomatoes and cherish the fresh fruit.
