Growing Tomatoes
www.lowes.com There are several different types of tomatoes. There are the larger slicing tomatoes which are used for sandwiches and salads. Paste tomatoes are good for spaghetti, pizza and sauces. Cherry and snacking tomatoes are smaller, sweet and easier to grow. 7 Tips for Growing Tomatoes from Lowe’s: 1. Plant them in full sun, where they will get 6-8 hours of daylight. 2. Plant the tomatoes in a good soil. Improve the drainage and nutrients in your soil by adding compost. 3. Give your tomatoes 2-3 feet of space to grow properly and avoid diseases. 4. Stake or cage your tomatoes when they are young to provide a good support system. 5. Water the tomatoes with about an inch of water a week. Water the roots and soil, not the leaves, to avoid diseases. 6. Check your tomato plant’s leaves for pests. 7. Fertilize your tomatoes by sprinkling a slow release fertilizer around the roots.
