How can I successfully grow tomatoes on the ground?

To successfully grow tomatoes on the ground, choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Plant tomato seedlings or seeds after the last frost date. Provide support for the plants as they grow, such as stakes or cages. Water consistently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer. Monitor for pests and diseases, and take appropriate action if needed. Harvest ripe tomatoes regularly to encourage more fruit production.
