"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato."

April Edible: It’s all about tomatoes around here!
There’s an excellent reason why tomatoes are one of America's most popular vegetable plants. They're easy to grow, bear profuse amounts of fruit and offer generous rewards. Plus, the taste of a homegrown tomato right off the vine is truly a small slice of heaven. With that in mind, we offer simple planting and care instructions for award winning tomatoes. HERE>>

Dear Garden Guru,
My tomato plants always look beautiful when I get them in the ground. I water and fertilize and then right after the plants flower they turn yellow and spindly and they don't fruit very well. What am I doing wrong?
