-
Prepare the soil by tilling or digging to a depth of at least 8 inches. Add compost or other organic matter to improve the soil's fertility.
-
Sow the seeds or transplant seedlings after all danger of frost has passed. Space the plants about 2-3 feet apart, and cover with 1/4 inch of soil.
-
Water the tomatoes regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilize the tomatoes with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
