Forget tomato seeds. Just plant a few slices from the store. Here’s how

When the seedlings have developed their first true leaves, they are ready to be transplanted. Carefully move them to larger pots or directly into the garden. Ensure they are spaced adequately to allow for growth, typically 18-24 inches apart in a garden bed.

Monitor your tomato plants regularly for signs of pests and diseases. Common issues include aphids, blight, and fungal infections. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, and practice crop rotation and proper sanitation to minimize disease risk.
