STOP! Don’t make this common mistake when planting tomatoes! 🍅 Here’s how to do it properly: 1) Trim off the bottom leaves a couple of days before you plant so that the freshly cut area can seal off (this reduces the risk of disease) 2) Dig a deep hole and plant the tomato up to the next set of leaves 3) Water well and as the plant grows, continue to snip off the lower leaves to further reduce the risk of disease (soil splashing up on the leaves can lead to blight). Mulching helps as well! *Thi
