- Yellow Tommy Toe tomatoes prefer well-drained, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter.
- Ensure that the plants receive full sun for at least 6 hours a day for healthy growth and fruit production.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and reduce weed growth.
- Provide support with stakes, cages, or trellises to encourage vertical growth and prevent the vines from sprawling.
- Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can promote disease.
- Regularly feed the plants with a balanced fertilizer to support robust fruit production throughout the growing season.
- Harvest the ripe tomatoes when they are fully yellow, and enjoy them fresh from the garden or in your favorite dishes.
