FAQ and Ideas for How To Grow Tomato Plants
- Can a person grow tomato plants indoors?
I am moving to a new house that I bought in a few weeks, but I would like to start growing some tomato plants now. Any suggestions on how I can grow them indoors, have a certain size of potting plant, certain type of window for sunlight and having support for the plant? Any advice would be great.
A Start them in seed trays, and put near sunny window. If you don't have a sunny window, use grow lights. You can find them at stores specializing in plants, or an all-purpose home and garden store. You can grow one plant in a 6-inch pot or two plants in larger pots. Tomatoes prefer well-drained, highly organic soil as well as a soil PH between 6 and 7. Water slowly and deeply to promote root growth. Check out this site on container gardening: http://www.stretcher.com/stories/03/03mar17a.cfm

- How to grow tomato plants?
I have a pair of tomato plants which are growing quite nicely and quickly. Can anyone tell me though: how do you know WHICH of the 'lateral shoots' to nip off and HOW and WHEN? Thanks!
A The lateral shoots are the ones then come from the junction between the main stalk and leaves. If left these go on to make a bush rather than a tall plant. here is very good http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/basics/techniques/growfruitandveg_growingtomatoes2.shtml And here shows exactly where the side shoots are. http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/fruit_veg_diary/fruit_veg_mini_project_july_1b_tomato.asp Just use a sharp knife to cut them off but be careful not to damage the stem.
