Grow Your Best Fresh Tomatoes at Home
When you buy starter plants, you’re getting young live plants that are typically several weeks old, which can help you make up for lost time in your garden.
Growing tomatoes should be fun, not stressful. We care for our seedlings in a way that encourages the development of strong roots and vigorous growth. Your plants will be well on their way to maturity once received, thus speeding up the growing process.
When you start with a Bonnie Plant, your plant is closer to maturity, which means you’ll be able to start harvesting and enjoying your homegrown tomatoes much faster than if you started with a seed.
Plant tomatoes after your region’s final frost date for a summer harvest. Plant in a warm, bright spot, as they need 6?8 hours of sunlight, and bury the bottom two-thirds of the plant, including the root ball. Check plant tags for complete instructions.
To help support your tomatoes, give them a stake, trellis, or cage to climb as they grow. Add mulch (chipped mulch, straw, or shredded leaves) around your tomato plants to help the soil retain moisture and prevent weeds.
Tomatoes will start out green and turn their mature color as they ripen. Ready-to-pick fruit will feel firm and have a deep color. Store your picked tomatoes at room temperature indoors or in a shady place outside.
