The infamous PomatoPlant is nothing more than a graft of a potato and a tomato plant, both of which you can start on a sunny window sill in your home. So get out the potting soil, tomato seeds, and a potato. You can use an ordinary potato from the grocery store, unless it has been treated to retard sprouting. From the way my potatoes sprout begin to sprout, my guess it most have not been treated. If you are uncomfortable with using one from the grocery store, seed potatoes can be purchased from nearly any seed catalog.
The tomatoes are best started in a shallow flat or even in peat pots. For any easier option, you can purchase peat pellets for as little at $2 at your local department store or nursery. They come in a flat disk of compressed peat. Simply follow the manufacturers directions to moisten the peat pot. They will expand to create a nice little pot for you seeds. Place the pots on a tray and keep them moist. Place one or two tomato seeds in each pot. Seedlings will emerge in about a week.
