Is this a shoot? Growing Tomatoes – Day 3

This might be exciting! Today when I went to water my seeded pot, I saw a pair of little green leaves peeping out of the soil. Could it be one of my tomato seeds? Or is it a weed? I wonder how I’ll know for sure…

Anyway, this is what I saw:

Seed or Weed?
Seed or Weed?

I also moved the pot to an area that gets more sunlight. Need to wait for a few more days and see what happens :)

  1. :) I love people who do vegetable gardening..

    I have a small garden with spinach,Tomatoes,Bindi,Brinjal,Cow pea, Cucumber, Bitter Gourd and Green Chilly..Tomatoes and Bitter gourd are small ones..Even i am excited about it and watch them grow each day.. I hope you soaked the seeds in water for 2 days,this will help them sprout earlier…
    Good luck..Keep updating on tomatoes..

    Me – No I didn’t soak them…how much faster will they sprout? As it stands now, any idea how long it’ll take for them to sprout naturally?

  2. Hey look forward to more pictures at every stage – I think I can recognise a tomato leaf – as a kid I have played hide and seek and eaten tomatoes to pass time while hiding in tomato laden, pesticide sprayed bushes (supported by bamboo sticks I think)…

    Me – Awesome :) When it grows a bit more perhaps you can let me know what you think…Don’t want to water a weed! (Though it’s a bit sad…but what to do?)

    without soaking,they will take more than a week,and if soaked,will sprout in 3-5 days…

    Me – This means that what I see is a weed :( since it’s just been three days. It’s seems to be growing pretty fast. Let me wait for a couple more days and see. It’s also suspicious that none of the other 7-8 seeds I’ve planted have come up yet. Will keep you posted.
