Hi Tina, there is really only so much you can do in general, even more so when you have a smaller garden space to work with. Adding worm castings and compost will help, we like to plant marigolds and basil if you have space to squeeze in a few extra plants around your tomatoes, basil will appreciate some afternoon shade so it can be easily tucked in here or there. Top dressing with a mild organic fertilizer once a month and watering it in will help your tomatoes continue to grow and produce fruit. If you are familiar with making or using compost tea, you can water your tomatoes with the tea once a month or at least a couple times throughout the growing season. Hope that helps and have fun growing!

Hi Teri, if you plan on growing them organically you don’t need to be too concerned about their status as a seedling so you should be more than fine picking out whatever varieties suit you. Hope that helps and have fun growing!

Do you have to buy organic starter plants or can you buy non organic and grow then organically? I’m having a hard time finding organic starter plants.

Hi Jocelyn, have you checked out our article on How to Make a DIY Tomato Cage: Sturdy, Easy & Cheap!? We find them to be incredibly sturdy, especially when they have stakes attached to them on the outsides. Let us know if you have any other questions and good luck!

Hi Gabriela, you can place the green tomatoes in a paper bag, store them at room temperature and see if they will ripen off the vine. Some people make different dishes using green tomatoes (green tomato sauce, fried green tomatoes, green tomato salsa, pickled green tomatoes, tomato relish, etc.) but unfortunately we do not currently have any dedicated articles to these recipes. Green tomatoes do contain solanine which can make some people feel ill if eaten in large amounts (myself included) so you may want to experiment with the use of green tomatoes in moderation until you know how it affects you. Hope that helps and good luck!
