SIX STEPS TO PERFECT TOMATOES

• SUN - 10 hours of direct sunlight per day - they will grow in less but get diseases, be rangy, and have light yields.
• GREAT SOIL - rich, well drained and rich in organic nutrients.
• LOTS OF FOOD - a few good handfuls of calcium can prevent those black squishy spots.
• TRANSPLANTING - Do in early morning or late afternoon on a cloudy day, water thoroughly before transplanting.
• WATERING - Continuous and uniform, too much rots roots. Too little causes cracking. Containers - every other day (every day in the hottest weather).  In the ground 2-3 times per week.
• BUGS - Keep insecticidal soap spray on hand and use at the first sign of insects.
