Start tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Alternately, they can be planted in the garden directly after all danger of frost has passed. Many tomato varieties have long growing seasons so be aware and make sure they have enough time to reach maturity.

Transplant seedlings to the garden when the soil is warm and after there are no more frosts. Harden off seedlings before transplanting.

Tomatoes need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Do not plant tomatoes in a shady area.

Plant tomatoes at least 2 feet apart so they have space to grow outwards. They will need to be staked or caged so they can stand upright. It is best to provide support before they get too tall so you don't damage the roots or branches doing it later. The fruits need to be kept off the ground – they will rot if they are not held up.

As the tomato plants grow, pinch or cut off the lower branches to focus the tomatoes growth upwards instead of outwards. Pinch off suckers that grow between the branches and main stem. This is to assist in fruit production as opposed to foliage production. It also prevents diseases from spreading from the soil to the foliage.

Growing Tomatoes in Containers: A large pot with drainage holes is necessary. Without good drainage, the roots will rot and kill the plant. Use a good well-draining potting mix. Choose a determinate tomato variety. A dwarf variety is best for containers. Only plant one tomato per pot. Put tomato plants in a spot where they will get 6-8 hours of sun per day. Water regularly without letting soil get soggy.

Determinate vs. Indeterminate: This designation refers to the growth rate of the tomato plant. Determinate tomato plants grow to a specific height and then they stop. They also mature quicker, going from flower to fruit faster than indeterminate. These plants tend to be smaller and are great for small spaces or container gardening. They are easy to control and work well with tomato cages or being staked.

Indeterminate tomato plants don't have a specific height and many will grow wildly, sometimes up to 8ft tall if they are not pruned. The branches grow out horizontally as well, and if they are not cut back, they will turn into a jungle of tomato vines. Older varieties, including most heirlooms, are indeterminate. They produce wonderful flavorful fruits, though they often take longer to mature since the plant is expending a lot of energy into the vines, instead of the fruit.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.
