Most tomato plants need to be surrounded by support stakes or manufactured support "baskets" available at Home Depot, Walmart, etc.... If you can't find these, use my grandfather's method: Insert 1" x 1" stakes in the ground around the plant about 3' high, then tie strings around these stakes about every 6". Gently rest the limbs of the tomato plant onto the strings for support.

What is the correct order for the ingredients for a BLT should it be top to bottom bacon lettuce and then tomato?
I'm sure there are many variations of the BLT, however the basic ingredients for a BLT are in the name. Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato. Southern style BLT (Texas & Louisiana) from my experience is fried bacon on toast with mayonnaise. To layer the BLT the way I did in the restaurants I worked in. First piece of toast, light mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, then bacon topped with light mayonnaise on final piece of toast. I was taught there were two main reasons we layered the BLT in this manner. 1. the bacon on the BLT is hot, heat rises, placing the bacon on the top of the BLT helps prevent the heat from the bacon to cause the lettuce or tomato to become soggy from heat, after all, lettuce and tomato on a sandwich are best served cold. 2. placing the tomato between the lettuce and tomato will help prevent the juices from the tomato soaking too much into the toast making the sandwich soggy. So Top to Bottom (since I told the steps bottom to top) Bacon - Tomato - Lettuce Bottom to Top Lettuce - Tomato - Bacon
