The PICKERS
π Grow Vertical Tomatoes! π
Short on space? Try growing vertical tomatoes! π
Use a sturdy trellis, stakes, or even a hanging structure to train your tomato plants upward instead of outward. Vertical growing boosts airflow around the plants, which helps prevent disease and makes harvesting a breeze! It also maximizses sunlight exposure, leading to healthier plants and juicier tomatoes. π±βοΈ
Perfect for small gardens, patios, or balconies - give it a try and watch your tomatoes thrive this spring! πΏ
