How to Care for the Plant

Water
Keeping your tomatoes well-watered is a must for heirloom tomatoes, especially once they set fruit. Watering deeply will encourage deep root systems.
Pruning
Tomato leaves are toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Ingestion may cause severe gastrointestinal upset, weakness, or slow heart rate. Barring allergies, tomato fruits show no toxicity to any species.
Fertilizer
Heirloom tomatoes are heavy feeders and need regular fertilizing to bloom and fruit. Organic and chemical balanced all-purpose fertilizers are both acceptable and a matter of personal preference.

Sunlight
When it comes to sunlight, heirloom tomatoes are one of the hungriest plants out there, along with plants like sunflowers or corn. These are plants that need full, direct, unfiltered sunlight all day long.
Soil
Healthy soil is a critical component of thriving heirloom tomato plants. They will yield the greatest harvest in rich, loamy soil that allows roots to penetrate deeply.
Temperature
Heirloom tomatoes need warm temperatures to grow. Planting them too early won't give you earlier fruits; wait until night temperatures are at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit before planting outdoors.
