Does anyone know how tall Tomato Plants grow?
I have 11 plants growing now and these thing are just exploding (I'm expecting Jack, from Jack & the Bean Stalk, to come knocking at my door any day now) |

If you cut the top they won't grow any higher, but make sure that every
so often you remove the little sprouts from the stem as they are taking a lot of energy from the plant and hinder the grow of the fruits. |

![]() & giving to all your friends & & & Just make sure you have supporrt for them so you can get under. it should say on the tag how tall depending on the type... ![]() I don't like the ones at the store that come on the vine cuz that smell always reminds me of the worms.. ![]() |

If they are not exposed to direct sunlight...then they will be 'leggy'
and yes if you tip them, pinch out the tops, you will promote side growth... STake or trellis them, and make sure they have plenty of water once the flowers start.... |

They are suppose to be Big Tomatos (but I'm not sure if they are the Big
Beef-Steak or not) Each of them are in 14" pots with those 3' round wire cylinders over them (that get wider at the top). They are on cement so I hope that will stop the threat of worms? |

![]() Get some stakes for the plants they are going to need support! Some varieties grow pretty tall. Yummy tomato and mayonaise sandwhiches. ![]() |
