Any tips to grow tomatoes?

Make sure the soil has lots of nitrogen in it, tomatoes require quite a bit to grow. You can get a soil testing kit from any of the big box garden stores. To increase nitrogen burying used coffee grounds is what i do. Tomatoes need full direct sun (8+ hours) each day so pick a nice sunny spot outside. Pruning the very bottom branches near the soil helps the roots grow better and increases the fruit production!
