I started it from seeds 6 weeks ago. But there was nothing come out. Luckily, My Italian neighbor gave me the seedlings two weeks ago and told me to place them in a site receiving full sun. I Buried tomato plants deeper than they came in the pot (as my neighbor told me to do so),  all the way up to a few top leaves. Tomatoes are able to develop roots all along their stems. I  simply dig a shallow tunnel and lay the plant sideways.

So far, my  tomato plants are now at 1 foot, but my neighbor grows his much better than I did. Their tomato plants are now at 3 feet, further more, I saw green tomatoes everywhere on his site. It seems to me that my plants are late bloomers, but I would still  like  to make up for it. Anyway, my tomato plants are growing, I am going to pinch and remove suckers that develop in the crotch joint of two branches. They won’t bear fruit and will take energy away from the rest of the plant. My goal in growing tomatoes is fruit, not leaves.

 I will still water them deeply and regularly while the plants are developing. Will my tomato plants straighten up and grow toward the sun?

You guess!
