Growing Guide for Tomatoes:
Location:
Plant your tomato seedlings in a location that receives full sunlight, ideally around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Soil:
Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Amending the soil with compost or organic matter can improve its quality.
Planting:
- Space your tomato seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 36-48 inches apart.
- Plant the seedlings at a depth of about 1/2 to 2/3 of their stem height, burying them deeper than they were in their containers. This promotes a strong root system.
Care:
- Water your tomato plants consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
- Provide support for your tomato plants with stakes, cages, or trellises to keep them upright as they grow and produce fruit.
- Remove suckers (small side shoots) that develop in the leaf axils to encourage better air circulation and fruit production.
- Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the package instructions to ensure adequate nutrients for growth and fruiting.
Harvest:
You can start harvesting tomatoes when they reach their desired size and ripeness. Simply twist or cut the tomatoes from the plant with a sharp pair of garden shears.
