In order for a potted tomato plant to maintain stability, dirt in its pot should support the stalk up to the lowest stems growing from the base of the plant. At least, that's according to a friend of mine, who suggested this as we were admiring my fledgling plant's progress. Today I added just a bit more dirt around it, and saw there are more than a dozen flower buds. It's about a foot tall and thriving. If I hadn't added the dirt, it could have began to topple over. The extra dirt should keep it straight as it extends toward the hot July sun.
