10 Tomato Growing Tips-These Tomato Growing Tips Will Make Your Mouth Water

Every great Gardner has his double top secret Tomato Growing Tips. They keep these secrets close to the vest but I am about to reveal those secrets now. Before I do though, did you know that some people consider the Tomato a fruit and some consider it a vegetable? This debate has gone on forever. This debate is so old that in 1883 the Supreme Court of the United States got involved and ruled the Tomato was a vegetable.

Now any Gardner worth his salt is going to plant Tomatoes. And if he is good at it he is probably using the following tips.

1.      Make sure to plant where you get plenty of sun and can get water to the plants.

2.      Use quality seeds that are proven to do well in your area of the country. Second generation seeds from Heirloom Plants will do well the following year after initial planting.

3.      The soil is also vital. Try to use organic soil as it will make bigger healthier Tomatoes.

4.      To prevent the occurrence of nematodes from attacking your plants you should make sure to change the soil each year if growing in large pots and rotating your Tomato crop if growing in a garden.

5.      Give your Tomato Plants a decent start in life and don’t plant when temperature is below 55 degrees.

6.      Try to pick a cloudy day to plant so the sun does not shock the plants while they are being transplanted.

7.      When you transplant from the pot to the ground you need to plant the plant deeper than it was in the pot because of the roots running all the way up to the stems.

8.      Since you are dealing with plants that grow up to six feet tall you will need to give them support such as wire cages or tall wood stakes. Keep your plants off the ground and you will keep them disease free.

9.      Make sure to keep plants watered and not let them wilt because wilting will stress the plant.

10.  Feeding the plants is important. Feed them with organic fertilizer every couple of weeks until you start getting Tomatoes. After you pick your first batch do the fertilizer one more time.

Follow these tips and you should have a bountiful crop of mouth watering, delicious, home grown goodness. I love sandwiches with home grown Tomatoes.
