Even if you are not known for your green thumb, growing your own tomatoes can give you a sense of accomplishment and pride. Perfectly suited for El Paso’s warm spring weather, now is the time to sow your seeds. Tomatoes are sun-worshipers and do best in warm soil. Add lots of compost and fertilizer to the soil so that the tomatoes get enough nutrients. The plants also need lots of growing room, so place the seeds far apart. Come late spring you will enjoy the fruits of your labor. (Or vegetable of your labor depending which side of the fruit vs. vegetable argument you land on.)
