How to grow tomatoes , tomatoes season

$25/hr Starting at $25

Important factors to grow tomatoes in your backyard:

  • Tomatoes are a warm-season crop and are usually grown as summer annuals. Tomato seeds must be started indoors between March to June.
  • More than anything, tomatoes need sun. Full sun, for that matter, and no less than 8-hours per day. If your garden plot receives less than ideal amounts of sunshine (and the warmth it provides) you can still grow beautiful tomatoes but will have to improve conditions for them to thrive.
  • When it comes time to select your young seedlings, look for leafy, vigorous plants. Leggy or spindly plants will likely fall over and not thrive well in the garden.
  • Proper spacing will assure that your plants receive plenty of sunlight and good air circulation, which will prevent many plant diseases from developing.


How to grow tomatoes in your backyard:

  • For those gardeners growing tomatoes from seed, you’ll need to start your seeds 6-weeks in advance of the spring. You can plant tomatoes anywhere in a moderate to a slightly warmer climate.
  • Plant your seedling directly into the soil, and make sure that you choose a site that has good soil drainage and full sun throughout the day.
  • Select an area of the garden that gets at least 6-hours of sunlight during the peak hours of the day.
  • Two weeks before planting your seeds dig a hole in your planting site that’s 1-foot deep, and 1-foot wide. Mix some compost into the soil or aged manure.
  • Plant the seeds 2-feet apart from each other to prevent them from overgrowing into each other.
  • After planting your seeds, you need to put up a trellis or some supporting structure to carry the weight of the plant as it grows. Leaving the plant on the ground will ruin your crop.
