Tomato Tips

The tomato is one of the most popular garden vegetables! If you're looking forward to growing your own tomatoes for the first time this summer, keep these tips in mind:
Plant tomato transplants deeper than they were growing in the tray; the deeper, the better.
Pick a location that does not hold water and receives as much direct sunlight as possible.
