How do I grow my own heirloom tomatoes?
assistant
1. Start by finding a sunny spot in your garden or yard that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
2. Prepare the soil for planting by removing weeds, adding compost and other organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Plant your tomato plants about 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 3-4 feet apart.
4. Water your plants regularly and fertilize them with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season.
5. Monitor your plants closely for pests and diseases and take steps to prevent or control them if necessary.
6. When the fruit is ripe, harvest it from the plant and allow it to ripen indoors before eating.
