Whether you're in Tambaram or Timbuktu, growing tomatoes is easier than you think. You just need sunshine, good soil, and a bit of daring.
Choosing your tomato is like picking music. Do you want a bush type or a vine? A juicy chicken and chorizo jambalaya or fried green cherry tomatoes? Match your tomato to your space and taste.
Tomatoes adore the sun. Six hours of bright light each day is ideal. This gives you plump, sweet fruit. Turn your pots for even sunning.
Water like a pro. Keep the soil damp, not soaked. Water the roots, not the leaves. Don't let your plant get dry. Tomatoes need steady care.
The soil, the pot, the trim. These are key to success. Use good soil in deep pots. Trim off those little side shoots. This helps fruit grow bigger.
Feed your plants well. Using compost with more phosphorus and a bit of seaweed can prevent problems. This helps produce more fruit. Pamper your plants for the best results.
