... Read moreGardening can be a rewarding yet sometimes puzzling experience, especially when unexpected sensations occur. If you find that your tomato plants are causing your skin to crawl, you may be encountering a few common issues. First, certain tomato plant varieties possess hairy or spiky leaves that can irritate sensitive skin. Additionally, pests like aphids or spider mites are known to cling to the leaves and stems, potentially causing discomfort when handling these plants. Another possibility could be a reaction to the sap of the tomato plant, which can be off-putting to some gardeners. If you have a history of skin sensitivity, it’s advisable to wear gloves when working with these plants to avoid any irritation. Moreover, environmental factors, like humidity and heat, can amplify these sensations, making your gardening experience less enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner gardener or an experienced grower, sharing our gardening woes is vital. Join discussions on forums such as #helpme or #beginnergardener to exchange tips, ask questions, and learn from others who share your passion for gardening. Remember, growing your garden should be fun and fulfilling, so don’t hesitate to seek help and advice from experienced gardeners.

😂😂 tomato plants are making roots. I would take that plant , remove few of the bottom leaves of the plant. Now plant those 'teeth' and the area you have removed. This will make for a better root system.pile the dirt high .
