How to Care for Better Bush Tomatoes in Texas:

• Planting:Start seeds indoors or buy transplants and plant after the last frost date. In Texas, mid-March through early April is ideal.
• Location:Pick a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
• Spacing:Plant about 24 inches apart. These bushy plants don’t sprawl like indeterminate types.
• Support:Provide a small cage or stake to keep plants upright as fruit develops.
• Watering:Water consistently; avoid letting soil dry out completely. Mulch well to conserve moisture during Texas’s hot spells.
• Fertilizing:Use a balanced fertilizer when planting and again when fruits begin to set.
• Pests:Look out for common tomato pests — handpick or use organic controls if needed.
