research Steps Buy a little tomato plant from your local grocery store or nursery. Before you transplant the plant into your garden, let the plant grow under a light inside. Once your plant has risen to about six to ten inches, they are ready to plant outside. After the first frost is the most optimal time to plant your tomato plant. Choose a spot in your garden that will receive at least seven hours of sunlight a day. Prepare your garden by adding compost, fertilizer, or manure to your soil. Mix the soil together. Bury your tomato plant deep into the soil. Bury at least 50% - 75% of your plant. Don’t worry if you bury a couple rows of leaves. Give your plant some warm water within ten minutes of transplanting it. For the first week after transplanting your tomato plant, water it every day. After the second week of transplanting your plant, you can ease up on the watering. Just make sure it gets 1-3 inches of water a week. Fruit will begin to appear around 60 days after planting. Monitor the fruit in changes in color. Once they start to turn red, you can pick them and let them ripen inside. Be cautious of rotting or overripe fruit. A ripe tomato will be red and firm, not soft. Enjoy your tomato!
