There is something deeply grounding about growing your own food — even in a small apartment. A single pot of country tomatoes on your balcony connects you to the earth, your kitchen, and a slower, more intentional way of living. These are not commercial hybrid tomatoes bred for shelf life. These are traditional open-pollinated country tomatoes — the same variety grown in Indian home gardens for generations, selected for flavour, resilience, and the ability to thrive in pots, grow bags, and terrace containers.

This is the foundation of a truly sustainable apartment wellness garden — one that grows more self-sufficient with every season. How to save seeds: Scoop seeds from a ripe tomato, ferment in water for 2–3 days, rinse, dry on a paper towel, and store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Frequently Asked Questions Can I grow these tomatoes in a pot on my apartment balcony? Yes. This is a determinate bush variety specifically suited to container growing. A 12–15 inch pot with good drainage and 5+ hours of sunlight is sufficient for a productive plant. How many tomatoes will I get from one plant in a pot? In a well-maintained container with regular feeding and watering, you can expect 2–4 kg of tomatoes per plant. Yield depends on sunlight, pot size, and care. Are these seeds organic? These are non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds grown without synthetic pesticides. They are the clean, natural choice for a wellness-focused home garden. What is the difference between heirloom and hybrid tomato seeds? Heirloom seeds are open-pollinated and breed true — you can save and replant seeds each season. Hybrid (F1) seeds produce uniform, high-yield plants but seeds saved from the harvest won't breed true. Heirlooms offer superior flavour and seed-saving capability; hybrids offer consistency and disease resistance. When is the best time to sow tomato seeds in India? October to February is ideal for most of India. In South India and coastal regions, August to January works well. Avoid sowing during peak summer (April–June) as extreme heat affects germination and fruit set. How long do unused seeds stay viable? Stored in a cool, dry, airtight container away from sunlight, tomato seeds remain viable for 3–5 years. Always perform a germination test before sowing older seeds.
