Gardeners’ Forum: “store bought tomato plants”
Back to Gardeners’ Forumstore bought tomato plants
Posted by Chad Kendall on Monday, June 8, 2009 2:36 PM ADTI am a newbie gardener and my wife and I bought some tomato plants from the local grocery store. The plants are very congested ( I think due to the small pots they let over grow) Is there anything I can do to fix the plants so they will start growing upwards instead of remain the clump they currently are? I would show pictures if I could on here.
