It's very simple. Go to your garden center and buy starter cubes. They are round flat objects that when soaked in water swell up to form a small planting pot.they containg a growing medium that you can place your seeds into. You will want to place 1 or 2 seeds in each pot and place them in a sunny window. If you have a cookie sheet place your containers on it and cover with plastic to form a green house. In about two weeks you will have small plants remove one of the plants leaving one plnt per pot. Once they get to buig to cover remove the plastic. you should start these about the middle of March and once they get to be about 3 to 4 inches high you will want to do what we call hardening off. put them outside in a sunny spot during the day providing the temtperatur is abouve freezing. Bring them in at night to keep from freezing. Once the there is little chance of freezing in the garden you can place pot and all in the ground.

Cut off the top. Hold the tomato (cut side down) and shake it over the kitchen sink. Gently squeeze as you shake. The seeds will fall out. You might have to use a spoon to remove left-over seeds.

Can you eat tomato seeds and what are they?

Yes, you can eat tomato seeds. They are completely indigestible and will pass completely through the digestive system unchanged. The only people that can have problems with tomato seeds (and other live seeds) are those with diverticulosis, when pouches (diverticula) form in the wall of the colon. Seeds can be caught in these pouches and in some cases germinate and begin growing inside you! If this happens the person will require surgery to remove the pouches with the plants inside them.

Is a tomato that has sprouted seeds safe to eat?

The seeds of a tomato are inside it, and usually sprout after the tomato decays and the seeds can then germinate. Seeds can actually start to sprout inside the tomato if it is kept around long enough and at room temperature. Do not eat the sprouting seeds. The flesh of the tomato is probably OK, but it must be getting a bit old and the flavor might not be what you'd hope for. I'd toss it and get a fresher one. There may be a green leaf-like top on the tomato, this is part of the plant where it was attached to the vine. A tomato with one of those is perfectly edible - just pick off the piece, it will come away easily.
