If you live someplace warm like Phoenix, you might already be getting your spring garden into the ground about now, hoping for a harvest before the Summer heat kills off your plants. If tomatoes are a part of you new garden, remember this fun tip.
You can snip a branch of your tomato plant and put the stem in a cup of water until it roots. Once the roots develop, put the new tomato plant into a pot and watch it grow. Many people apparently clone their tomatoes and keep the new plants inside for a winter harvest, long after their garden has been covered in snow and frost. That’s a great tip I hadn’t heard about!
