Here's round 2 quick tips from Big Jilm on planting tomatoes in your garden!
Don't be afraid to bury lengthy tomatoes deep in the dirt.
Remove any flowers from the plant if it started doing so so that it can put all its engery into rooting and growing strong.
You're going to want to get something to support them as they grow such as a tomato cage to hold them up as they get big and heavy.

Keep your tomatoes about 2-3 feet apart because they will grow pretty big and you want to give them some space and room for weeding.

Big Jilm's Gardening Tips: Hardening Your Plants
First off, Happy Mother's Day!
Here's some quick tips from Big Jilm on preparing your plants to go in the ground!
It's important to acclumate your starter plants to the sun, hard rain , winds and cold temperatures.
You don't want to take your plants from indoors and put them straight into the ground outside. You must have patience and acclumate them to the outdoor environment so that you don't shock them.
Just like Big Jilm is all white and pasty from being inside, he will also get sun burnt if put directly into the sunlight right away!
Average frost date around here is right around the 21st of May so be patient :)
Big Jilm's Gardening Tips: Transplanting
Here's some quick tips from Big Jilm on getting your little starter plants transplanted into the right size pots for optimum growth!
Transplanting them into larger pots as they grow will keep them healthy and strong for when you go to plant them outside into your garden.
Plants can get root-bound and lose nutrients if they stay in too small of pots. The more room the roots have to grow, the better they will do in your outdoor garden. If you don't have the space to trnasplant, feed your plants with a good nutrient.
Remember- keep your plants wet, warm and in the light!
Any questions? Feel free to comment and ask Big Jilm any gardening questions you might have :)
