You are doing it all wrong. Here’s the right way to plant tomatoes & get plants up to 8 feet high

Brandywine: Heirloom favorite with exceptional taste.

Consider Climate:

Hot & humid? Try Celebrity or Better Boy.

Cooler areas? Go for Stupice or Early Girl.

Start with Healthy Seedlings: Look for stocky, green plants about 6–10 inches tall with no yellowing leaves or flowers yet.

Tomatoes love rich, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0–6.8).

DIY Soil Mix:

1 part garden soil (base structure)
1 part compost (for nutrients)
1 part perlite/sand (for drainage)
