Nothing brings to mind summer like the fresh taste of homegrown tomatoes.
One container of potting soil and a tomato plant will allow you to enjoy fresh tomato dishes with just a little effort and a few ingredients. For a simple tomato to start off with, visit your garden center and ask for a determinate tomato plant. You will also need a 14 inch pot and potting soil. You can support your plant with a stake, or a tomato cage as it grows. Plant your tomato by stripping off all but the top 4-5 leaves and put them into the dirt deeply where the leaves are about the soil line.
