Tips for Planting Tomatoes
Tomatoes are becoming available
everywhere including Costco at the moment. I would suggest waiting
until later in the month for those of you who live in the San Mateo area
when it becomes a little warmer at night. Here are a few quick tips in
planting tomatoes-
- Pull off suckers and lower branches to help produce roots along the stem
- Dig a deep whole bury part of the stem.
- Stake tomatoes plants as soon as
possible. A simple way is to drive a tall stake outside of the root
ball (or 2 inches if it is a 4 inch container). Tie with garden tape or
twine. Cages are an option too
- Water regularly but not too much.
