3. How to Plant or Transplant Tomatoes or Peppers

Try it this way and I promise you that you’ll be rewarded with faster growth and healthier plants:

When you plant any kind of pepper or tomato plant, pinch off all but the top leaves.

Always dig a deep hole and add a cup of water to the deep hole and then set the plant into the hole and put a tablespoon of unflavored powdered gelatin in the hole near to the roots of the plant. A teaspoon of cinnamon also added in. The gelatin will encourage helpful bacteria and the cinnamon will keep away fungus.

For sweeter tomatoes, put two tablespoons of baking soda in the bottom of the hole. Cover the baking soda with two two-inch of dirt before you put the plant in the hole.

accurately fill the hole with dirt and pack it down tight.

Note: I suggest that everyone learn everything they can about heirloom tomatoes, which have a much better flavor than modern ones.
