The Pain Of Growing Tomatoes

This vacation I have tried to grow tomatoes with no avail because They don’t bother to grow down deep into the dirt to reach more nutrients because they never have to. And since their roots are shallow, the plant doesn’t grow as big or as sturdy as it should be. This might not seem like a problem for me. But to get the tomatoes started in water they don’t do well, and when I germinate them in dirt and than move them to water they die. It’s been a struggle to get anything started but i’m slowly making progress understanding better and better how they grow and live and I hope to soon see flourishing young tomato plants in the garden and after sometime giving off fruits.
