Some Tomato growing tips: - start the seeds indoor say four weeks before the last frost; use organic jiffy seed starting mix, heating mat and grow light if possible - at 3 to 4 weeks old, move seedlings to cold frame (or low tunnel) if outdoor temperature permits, this will speed up hardening - transplant say two weeks after the last frost (DO NOT transplant too early) - tomato plants prefer full sun area, or at least SW-facing partial shade - seedling should be spaced 24” apart; rows should be spaced at least 4’ apart; - plant the seedling deep, cover the soil to the first set of true leaves - each hill should have 12-18” well drained soil with lots of organic matters - mulch the tomato plants over time, cover each row with weed blocking fabric or black plastic could warm soil temperature and promote growth - need staking support (or tomato cage) to hold the branches upright, especially when loaded with pounder fruits. - when plants are 2-3ft tall, do remove leaves near soil surface to provide good ventilation; also trim off sucker branches
