What factors are required for growing tomatoes?
Tomatoes need lots of sun to grow. They can't have too much sun. Find the sunniest spot in your yard. I also like to water mine almost every day. Sometimes, a few tomatoes get a little sunburned though, and it really doesn't taste very good so once the plants have grown some gardeners cover them with a light mesh/cloth sold at garden and home centers. You probably won't do that until you've grown a few though. The young plants need to be tied to a short stake. Use jute twine for this. A staple gun is helpful, too. When the plants get a little bigger they need more support. Garden centers sell a wire cage shaped like a large cone that cost a dollar. It has three strong wires running vertically welded to three wire hoops. When the plants get big enough, you slide the cone shaped cage over them. That's the easiest and best way to provide support, but you can use literally anything to support the plants. You can drive large stakes into the ground and run string or poles horizontally. Then, tied the plants to the supports. I hope you have good soil. If you don't, add a little 10-10-10 fertilizer. It is the most common fertilizer. Also, manure works well, and you can buy it at home centers. You can use Miracle-Gro for Tomatoes when watering them. Till a small area with a shovel. I put my plants about 18" apart, but some people space larger varieties farther apart. Add a couple of cherry tomato plants also. They ripen a couple of weeks earlier, and you'll be glad you have them. Fresh off the vine, they are almost as tasty as a strawberry.

It depends on how expired the mayo is. If it is 2-5 days expired you should be fine. If it is 1-2 weeks expired you might get sick. I have the solution though. DON'T EAT EXPIRED MAYO! ALWAYS CHECK THE EXPIRATION! Another later ANS: GET SICK? What does that scare tactic mean? Just think for yourself. Keep the opened mayo in the cool fridge like the label always instructs. I have used mayo waaayyy past the printed expiry date and never had any bad physical reactions, and saved some hard earned $.

If you own it and forgot to eat eat it: Judge by looking at it, smelling it, and tasting it... how hard is that?

Do you know what variety the tomatoes you are growing this year are? If your tomatoes are from hybrid plants, you won't get the same plants next year as you have now. If you're not sure you can still try saving the seed and just find out next year and it may well be worth your time and effort! Take a fully ripe tomato and cut in half. Scrape out the seeds onto a piece of wax paper. Try to get seeds with as little pulp as possibe and they will be easier to handle. Spread the seeds in a single layer with a little space between them. Leave the paper with the seeds on it where it can completely dry. The seeds can be removed from the wax paper and stored in a small zip close bag or you can just fold up the wax paper and store it in a small bag. Seeds should be stored in a place where it is dry and the temperature is cool and pretty much constant. Your seeds won't look like the ones that come out of a package but they will grow every bit as well.

* Skim the foam off, add water to the seeds and pour through a sieve, rubbing and rinsing until clean.
* Spread on shiny paper, until dry, place in an envelope or paper bag, and
hang to further dry for a couple more weeks. Then the seeds can be kept for up to four years if conditions are good.
