Tomatoes are one of the best plants to try growing from seed. Here I'll show you the process of growing healthy tomato transplants from scratch: starting tomato seeds indoors, tips on soil, seed varieties, and the best planting techniques. We’ll also cover the crucial steps for potting up your young tomato plants to ensure they thrive and develop strong roots. Tomatoes are one of the stars of the vegetable garden, and growing your own transplants is not only easy but super satisfying. 

Welcome to the Culinary Garden, I’m Sarah. I’ve been gardening and growing for many years in all kinds of gardens - from organic farms to small residential spaces - and I’ve learned a lot along the way. I became a Master Gardener in 2021, and am a chef and restauranteur. 

In 2012 we started the Culinary Garden to grow food for our restaurant, Ducks aren’t Real. Our courtyard area includes raised beds, pergolas, fruit trees, and a greenhouse, and uses organic methods and permaculture ideas to grow food every step of the way, from seed to salad. We are located in the Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, in the middle of the Maritimes. Our south-facing garden provides a bit of a microclimate, so we are between Canadian climactic zone 5b/6a.

I am making these videos to show you the growing season in a restaurant kitchen garden: planning, planting, harvesting, processing, and of course, problem-solving. I will offering experienced advice as we go from the garden to the kitchen, to inspired you to cultivate your plate no matter what your level of garden experience.
