Why: Basil repels pests like aphids and can enhance the flavor of tomatoes. Hack: Plant basil near your tomato plants to help improve growth, repel insects, and give your tomatoes a flavor boost.
9. Remove Suckers for Better Production
Why: Suckers (the small shoots that appear in the crotch between the main stem and branches) can drain energy from your plant. Hack: Pinch off the suckers early on to direct the plant's energy into producing fruit rather than excessive foliage.
10. Harvest Early for Better Flavor
Why: Picking tomatoes before they fully ripen can help them develop more flavor. Hack: Harvest tomatoes when they just begin to turn color and let them ripen indoors. This prevents pests from getting to them and can enhance the flavor.
By using these Tomato Plant Hacks, you'll improve your growing success and enjoy a more fruitful harvest. Happy gardening!
