Here’s how to help me grow bigger and stronger.
Bob as a blob! He’s not even a flower yet, isn’t he cute? You just bought a tomato plant from your local nursery or farmers market. Good idea.
Now pick some good, moist soil to plant him in. He likes coffee grounds (keeps the bugs away) and crushed egg shells will help the soil, too.
Dig a hole deep enough to encompass the bottom branches, but don’t break them.
You just fold them over, gently, and cover with dirt during planting. Those branches will reach down and become roots – making your tomato plant bigger and stronger.
Soon Bob will be born! He’s delicious.
Happy gardening!
Love it! I think I’m going to bring the boys to the market on Wednesday… 🙂
Yea! We’re planting our little Toms tonight…perfect timing! I didn’t know about folding down the bottom branches, we will give it a try!
