Planting Tomatoes Step-by-Step

Illustrated step-by-step guide to planting Bonnie tomatoes!

Conquer Blossom-End Rot

When tomatoes, peppers, melons, and eggplant develop a sunken, rotten spot on the end of the fruit, the cause came long before you found the problem.

Get Tomatoes Off the Ground

Avoid diseases and make it easier to harvest, spray, and monitor problems.

VFN What?

When selecting tomato varieties, you must choose between plants with different types of growth habits called determinate or indeterminate. All tomatoes are either one or the other.

Plant Tomatoes Deep, Deep, Deep

Each Bonnie tomato label urges you to plant tomatoes so that a full 80% of the plant is underground. That means that if you buy a 10-inch tall plant, all but the top two inches is buried. Why? Because the plant will have a better root system. Better roots mean better tomatoes.

Tomatoes That’ll Cover Your Bread Slice

Do you like a sandwich whose tomato peeks out from the edges of the bread? If so, grow the big ones such as Big Beef, Better Boy, Parks Whopper, Brandywine, German Johnson, and Super Fantastic. Plant these deeply so that 80% of the plant is underground.

For Early Tomatoes, Try This

Want to bite into your first homegrown tomato soon? Here are three easy ways to speed the harvest. Normally, tomatoes are planted at least two weeks after the last frost, but with steps 2 and 3, you can cheat the calendar. If you live where the weather is already warm, step 1 is all you need.

Vegetables in Containers

Containers can be placed anywhere convenient as long as there is a source of water and plenty of sunshine.
