Tomatoes that will be left alone

Chucker · May 8, 2013

I was thinking about what to do with my extra seedlings (I know, I can give them away) and I have some land available that is a few hours away that I only visit once or twice a month during the summer. What if I planted my extras there? Then when I'm there, maybe there will be fresh tomatoes

I have only ever grown tomatoes in containers, so I have no experience growing in the dirt. If you were going to plant tomatoes in the ground, and then leave them with no care and no watering, what would you do to the ground when you planted to give the best possibility of success? Or is it just a bad idea?
