Planting Green Zebra Tomatoes:

- If planting in a pot or container, be sure to move the pot constantly so that your tomatoes get enough sun.
- Use a good quality, well draining soil.
- Keep the area free of weeds.
- Give the plants at least an inc (2.5 cm) of water per week.
- Use an organic tomato plant fertilizer.
- Set up stakes for support.
