Hi I’m Penny of PennysTomatoes.com and with the economy causing everything from gas to groceries to sky rocket in price; it only makes sense to have your own garden. CNN News mentioned on 5/1/08 what a great value seeds are in tough times.

 
AND growing your own tomatoes is not only easy but VERY inexpensive.  If you buy tomatoes at your local grocery store you will pay up to $3.50 per lb (which is approx 2 tomatoes) out of season, and maybe $.99 Cents in season..   With a pack of tomato seeds costing approx $3.00 (and of course a little TLC) you can get tons of tomatoes.
Let’s do the Math.
My Bodacious Beefsteak Tomatoes can weigh up to 2 pounds. A single seed costs $.20 Cents. That’s $.10 Cents per pound

.
NOW IT GETS BETTER.
Take an average sized Tomato like “Penny’s Early Girl”.  You can easily produce 50 Tomatoes from one plant.  They average about 1/4 pound each. That’s 12 pounds of Juicy, Delicious, Tasty Tomatoes loaded with Nutrients.  ALL OF THAT FROM ONE LITTLE SEED.
And the best thing of all?  It cost you less than $.02 Cents per pound.  Now that’s one cool way to beat the rising costs of Groceries.
I usually plant about 10 plants each spring for my own Tomatoe Plants.  I not only get mouth watering vine ripened tomatoes all summer long…   I also have enough to make homemade spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc and put it in freezer bags to eat all winter long.
 
At PennysTomatoes.com you’ll not only find a great assortment of different kinds of tomato seeds but you’ll also find a wealth of information on how to grow them.
 
There is no satisfaction like growing your own mouth watering tomatoes so visit my website and let’s get stared!

Tomatoes are notoriously picky plants. Tomatoes are in the potato family, which makes them susceptible to tens, if not hundreds of pest and disease problems; however, that should not stop any tomato loving gardener from harvesting buckets of healthy tomatoes. The key is to learn how to prevent, diagnose and treat tomato problems.

Tomato Disease Prevention

Disease prevention in tomato plants starts with healthy growing practices. Preparing the soil, watering properly, and feeding appropriately are all keys to tomato disease prevention. Tomatoes like a well draining soil filled with lots of organic matter. Tomato roots penetrate deeply into the soil, helping to stabilize plants and take up water. With well-prepared soil, watering deeply and infrequently—every 4-6 days, will allow the tomato plant to have enough water, without putting the plant at risk of problems of overly “wet feet.” Always water in the morning, so plant leaves have time to dry during the day. Leaves are a perfect spot for disease incubation, and water ripens those conditions even more. Prune your plants to provide air flow through the leaves and branches, which will also aid drying time. Ensure that your tomato plants receive proper nutrition by conducting a soil test, and treating the soil according to the results. All of these practices will give your plants a good start fighting off diseases and pests.

For anyone accustomed to the notion that a vegetable garden must be a fairly large affair - its rows stretching fifteen or twenty feet at a minimum, the concept of crops pushing up from a small container or appearing to burst the bonds of a tiny patch of ground only a few feet square - it is almost unsettling. Yet growing vegetables in cramped spaces is not only possible but highly rewarding. One can grow tomatoes in tubs at the edge of a patio, strawberries in empty milk cartons on a windowsill, lettuce in a modest window box, watermelons along a strip beside a driveway or beans on a trellis on a small apartment balcony.

A year-long harvest of several kinds of vegetables can be gained from a single area no wider than a card table. To achieve this kind of bounty in lap-sized spaces it is necessary merely to provide the right growing conditions and to purchase seed varieties that are appropriate for small-scale circumstances. Luckily a number of seed companies have responded to the newly recognized demand for miniature or compact plants, and more new strains are being offered to the public every year, often grouped together under such headings as “space savers,” “space misers” or “midgets.”

Tomatoes are among some of the most popular vegetables to grow in your backyard. Rightly so too, because for some reason, homegrown tomatoes taste about 500% better than store-bought ones. In fact, for a period of time when the tomato prices were unusually high, my husband and I boycotted store-bought tomatoes because they were simply a “cardboard tasting” habit for sandwiches. However, once summer started, we decided to grow our own beefsteak tomatoes. It was just too weird to have a burger without a tomato on it! If you’re interesting in growing some good-tasting juicy tomatoes as well, here are some tips to help you on your journey.

1. Starting the seeds. Tomato seeds germinate in temperatures 65F/18C or higher. They grow pretty easy from seeds. You simply get some small pots, put some potting soil in them, and bury the seeds according to the seed package directions. Keep the soil moist and keep them in a warm sunny spot where it can get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. In a few days, you’ll see your seeds starting to sprout!

Choosing Tomatoes There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing which tomato plants to grow. Your nursery will carry the plants that thrive in your local weather and soil conditions. Choose short bulky plants that have no yellow blooms yet, and healthy leaves. Avoid the plants that are tall and skinny. They are available in countless sizes, shapes and colors. Choosing the right type of plant is essential to a successful tomato garden.

Indeterminate vs. Determinate Indeterminate plants require support, usually in the form of a cage or stake. They produce earlier and larger yields than determinates. Many say they have a better flavor as well. Indeterminates will grow until they are killed by frost. As long as conditions stay favorable these plants will continue to produce. Determinates are typically short and stocky. They are bred for this and ripen the bulk of their fruit in five weeks or less. They normally do not need to be supported. However, some vigorous determinates may need to be aided to keep from lying on the ground. Dwarfs do not need support and do well in containers. Miniatures are very small plants with penny-sized fruits which are grown more for decoration rather than consumption.

Selecting Tomatoes As far as tomato variety goes, your choices are endless. Your local nursery will stock tomato transplants that suit your climate. Choose dark green stocky plants with no blooms and no holes in the leaves. The ideal plant should be as wide as it is tall. Avoid the tall spindly plants. They are available in a myriad of sizes, shapes and colors. The key to a triumphant tomato garden is choosing the right type of plant.

Determinate (bush) vs. Indeterminate (vine) Determinate tomato plants are short and bushy. They are bred for their small size, and to ripen the majority or their fruit all at once. Most determinates do not need caging or staking, but some plants called vigorous determinates, could possibly need help keeping themselves off the soil. Dwarfs, however, do not need support and are idea for growing in containers. Miniatures are tiny plants with short stems and marble-size fruits that are usually grown for decoration rather than for consumption. In contrast, indeterminate tomatoes continue to grow until they are killed by frost. They do require support, and will produce earlier and greater fruit yields than determinates. Some say the taste better too. As long as the conditions are favorable, indeterminate plants will remain productive.
