🌿 Care Tips for Tomato Plants

• Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
• Water deeply and consistently; avoid wetting leaves to prevent blight.
• Feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser once flowers appear.
• Pinch out side shoots on tall-growing (indeterminate) varieties to direct energy into fruit.
• Stake or cage plants early to prevent damage later.
• Harvest fruit as it ripens to encourage continuous cropping.
