- Tomatoes need lots of sun (Atleast 6 hrs)
- Avoid over fertilizing
- Avoid over watering
- Don't plant too early, find out what zone your in and your last frost date (I am in Zone 5)
- Plant them Deep
- spray every 7 to 10 days or so with Daconil (for insects and deseases)
- Use good support system (Cage or Stakes)
- Grow Extra Seedlings, Just in case
- Remember to Harden your plants
- Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plant
- Get a copy of the book "100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden" by Carolyn J. Male
- If you prune, when you prune, practice rooting the cuttings. Its fun and comes in handy.
- And finally, The fun is finding YOUR way
