Plants and Flowers

For this garden plant you should choose a place that receives full sun. Though tomatoes will tolerate a little shade, you’ll get a smaller crop. Compulsory condition for successful tomatoes growing is drainage and protection from strong winds. Prepare beds with compost, especially if your soil is poor and contains mostly clay or sand. Tomatoes do best in a little bit acid soil.
Before transplanting plants need hardening off. If soil in your garden is not well drained, set the plant on a mound four to six inches above the surrounding soil. If soil is dry, place them in a depression so that roots can get enough water.
Water well your young plants before transplanting, and put them in the ground about two inches deeper than they were in the pot. Remove two or three bottom leaves after planting. Then water well; plants that look wilted water again. Thick mulch can help soil to retain water. In the process of growing water them when they look wilted.
When transplanting, be sure not to press the soil too strong around the stem, or the stem may break.
You can try growing tomatoes in large containers or pots; besides, some small varieties can even be grown in hanging baskets. Container-grown tomatoes demand special monitoring to water and fertilizer supplies.
