How to care for a tomato plant?
+10
Over the weekend, I bought a tomato plant from our local farmer's market and did not get enough information to care for it. Do you have any suggestions concerning what I should do to reap a few tomatoes?
Congrats on getting a tomato plant, Brenda. There's nothing like the taste of a home-grown tomato! Here's an article to get you started:

A little bit of epsom salt (not table salt) will have you plant healthy, strong and bearing a good yeild of tomatoes. Also, plant it into good dirt deeper than it was in the pot. This will help the plant by creating a bigger root system.
Make sure you take your suckers off the plant you will get a stronger base stem for your large tomatoes. A sucker is the extra stem that grows between your stems you will see it shoot up between the stock and the stem. I check my a lot and I have very strong stocks for my tomatoes to grow on. Hope this helps
