About production of Tomato
Tomato plants are tender, warm-season crops that love the sun and cannot tolerate frost. It is important not to plant the plants too early. In many places, the soil is not warm enough to plant tomatoes outdoors until spring and early summer, except in zone 10, where it is planted in the fall and in the winter.
See when to grow tomatoes for your situation. Tomatoes take about 60 to more than 100 days to harvest, depending on the variety (see more in the category below). Because of their long growing needs (and seeding time), many gardeners plant small “starters” or transplants instead of seeds when the weather warms in the spring. Most gardeners buy their transplants from garden centers or nurseries, but you can grow your own from seed indoors.
