The Basics
You can choose from hundreds of bite-size tomatoes with varying sizes, colors, textures, and especially flavors for your garden.
Order seeds to get special selections, or buy ready-for-the-garden plants at a local nursery or online.
Charlie Thigpen, owner of The Gardener’s Gallery in Birmingham, says tomatoes’ needs are simple: lots of sun (at least six
hours a day), rich soil, regular water, and something to grow on (a trellis, stake, or cage). Cover these basics and you will
be rewarded with baskets of homegrown tomatoes―and the fresh taste of summer at your table.
All the tomatoes in this story need the support of cages, stakes, or trellises to keep their vines growing up and off the
ground. If you don’t have a lot of space or want container plants, Charlie recommends ‘Micro-Tom’ or ‘Florida Basket.’
