The yields of your tomato plants depend heavily on the condition of the soil at planting time. Have the soil loose, friable, free from lumps or clods and well-supplied with organic matter and fertilizer. You should also use starter solutions and side dressing to keep the plants growing rapidly and constantly. Tomatoes are a very tender crop and should not be planted before the frosts are over. You could start the seed indoors about eight weeks before you will want to plant them outdoors.
Sandy soil is needed for the seeds.
After the little plants grow to two inches high you can transplant. Now remember the best plant to set out is a stocky one about six to ten inches high with a thick stem and a good roots system. I would advise deeply dug holes, filled with good soil or compost as this makes a productive crop. To plant set the plants deeply in this hole with at least two inches of the stem covered. Roots will form very quickly on buried stems, and you'll have stronger plants.
