Planting and care
Water generously for the first few days
Water well throughout growing season, about 2 inches per week during the summer
Keep watering consistent!Mulch five weeks after transplanting to retain moisture
To help tomatoes through periods of drought, find some flat rocks and place one next to each plant
The rocks pull up water from under the ground and keep it from evaporating into the atmosphere
Fertilize two weeks prior to first picking and again two weeks after first picking
If using stakes, prune plants by pinching off suckers so that only a couple stems are growing per stake
Practice crop rotation from year to year to prevent diseases that may have over wintered
