I've never planted tomato plants before?

This the first time I've planted tomato plants I tried with seeds once and nothing happened just trying to get an idea that's all

I've never planted tomato plants before?
Tomato are not that difficult to grow. (if you buy them already planted about 3-4 inches tall) It is much to difficult to plant them buy seeds but if you would rather do it this way then you will need a greenhouse and you must put two seeds to each planter so they can germinate. Once you have transplanted them into your garden make sure you make alittle mound and plant them in that. Once they have grown and start to produce the vegetable you want to tie the plant up so the vegetable does not lie on the ground. If it lies on the ground then it will dry rot and you don't want that. Remember to plant it in sun light and give it plenty of water (the best time to water any plant is in the evening when the sun startes to set. If you water your plants when the sun is out you will actually burn the leaves.) It wouldn't hurt any if you spry it with insecticide to keep the little critters from eating away at your prize tomato's.


Thank You and good luck.
Reply:Put them in the ground, keep them watered, pinch off the suckers, stake them if necessary. Pick off any critters like tomato worms. Harvest tomatoes. Enjoy.
Reply:Wait until danger of frost is passed, late April or May. Go to local garden center and get some six packs of tomatoes.
Reply:Buy healthy plants that are potted. They like sun. Dont let them dry out. My wife loves beefsteak tomatoes the best!! Put alittle compost around roots when planting. Plant in good soil. If you have a problem in the summer with grubs go to your local store and buy spray for that.
Reply:They can be grown from seed, but you are so much better off to just get little ones (about 4" tall) and work with them Tomato plants are extremely easy to grow. Need lots of sun and water. The trick is getting the flowers to produce fruit, but you will generally get more fruit (vegetables?) than you can use when they really kick in. I highly recommend cherry tomatoes over the full size ones, but the dynamics are the same.
