Use Tomato Seed to establish a crop and maintain a harvest-and-replant supply near base.
A protected base plot on level grassy or fertile terrain, or a Planter where placement conditions require it.
Tomato Seed is listed as a placeable crop seed. Planting it on suitable ground or in a Planter provides a base-side source of tomatoes, with ongoing production depending on retaining seed stock. Growth timing and recovery details are not guaranteed across server configurations, so check the crop and crafting menu in your own game. The useful outcome is a repeatable crop tending and collection routine.
Repeat planting, waiting, harvesting and seed reservation while you have seed stock. The crop cycle is renewable when you retain enough seeds, but a seed consumed or lost cannot be assumed to return.
Stop when your tomato supply and reserve are adequate or switch to seed collection if the next planting would use your backup.

Build a renewable seed supply so a crop plot can keep producing after the first seed run.
Collect Wheat for food and convert part of the harvest into seed stock to keep production going.
Turn a Wheat Seed into an at-base supply of harvestable Wheat and replacement seeds.
Recover seeds from harvested vegetables so a field can be replanted without relying entirely on seed loot.
