Hello tomaters! I just found this sub and am so excited, hopefully I can contribute some tomato pics some day!
I got these seeds as an amazing present from a coworker – he brought in huge piles (yes piles) of tomatoes this past summer that were delicious. He generously shared his seeds with me after we nerded out about tomatoes. I have never grown tomatoes from seed, and want to do this right without wasting them, and to prove to my coworker that I'm worthy of the bounty!
Please give any and all advice, I am seriously so lost where to begin and just want to eat tomatoes.
First pic is the amount/different kinds of seeds I received, not really sure what the types are but I remember him having heirloom and Roma and cherry. Second pic is where I can set up right now or before planting. I have a shelf to put them on. What kind of set up would be best for these babies??

Aside from a shelf, you’ll need a heating mat to germinate them, and some grow lights!
Here’s a couple videos that are really helpful with solid advice: https://youtu.be/kdvy8auymiQ?si=vbNuXXWS4ZzaFweN

If you’re going to go through the trouble of growing them, I recommend doing some studying up on it! I found YouTube videos very helpful when I started however many years ago.
Tomatoes like heat. They grow fast. You should probably wait until it’s warm.
