Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings into the garden once all frost danger has passed. Space plants at least 24 inches apart to provide adequate room for growth.

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, providing approximately 1-1.5 inches of water per week. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer to promote vigorous growth.
4. Pruning and Support
Remove suckers that develop in the leaf axils to maintain a single stem. Provide support for the tomato plants using stakes or cages, ensuring the heavy fruit is properly supported.
