Tomato plants

Tomato plants are a summer plant. We could start when it gets warm around june and they will be ready to pick around 60 days later. We could start even earlier if we plant them inside and transplant them when the weather gets warmer. Certain types of tomatos need different amounts of space between plants. From 12 inches apart to 5-6 feet. when planting, use fertilizer. Use stakes if needed. Water thouroughly and regularly when it hasnt rained for a while. Watch out for tomato hornworms, verticillium and fusarium wilts, early blight, septoria leafspot.
