  🌼 Planting & Care Tips

  Atomic Grape Tomatoes are a visual blast, but they thrive best when you give them proper support (emotional and structural!). Use cages or stakes to keep those heavy vines standing tall. Prune lower leaves for airflow and mulch to retain moisture and discourage weeds from crashing the garden party.
  For fertilizer, feed monthly with a balanced tomato blend. Be vigilant for aphids, hornworms, or the dreaded blossom end rot—crack down with neem oil, handpicking, or a calcium boost, respectively.
  🍅 Fun tip: Whisper encouraging words to your tomatoes. It might not help, but it’ll definitely make your neighbors curious!
