What should I do when tomatoes plants are growing but no tomatoes and Leaves are turning yellow?
A few leaves at the bottom of the plant will go yellow, no need to worry about that. If worse than that, it may be lack of nitrogen in the soil, or it may be a fungus or a bacterial problem. Perhaps pests are the cause or simply that the soil is not wet enough. Purchase a special tomato fertilizer and use as directed or at least, speak to an expert at a Garden Centre

Is it better and easier to grow tomatoes from seed or a baby tomato plant?
It is much easier to buy a plant. If you live in an area where the growing season is short, having a full grown plant will greatly increase your yield.
Although not easier, there are many tomato varieties that are only available as seed. These include the older and more unusual varieties that often have superior taste. Mostly these have fallen from favor because of the dominance of hybrid varieties. There are also varieties available for those with shorter seasons.
Its easier but not always better. If you grow your plants from seeds, you reduce the risk of getting diseased plants. When you buy from a garden shop or greenhouse, you dont know how many plants or people they have been exposed to. Fusurium, or tobacco wilt, is a common disease that is transmitted from tomato and pepper plants as well as by people who smoke, to healthy plants. This kills the healthy plant in about 5-7 days. Secondly, If you purchase a plant with blooms on it, the plant is at half life, meaning the potential for full potential harvest is about 50% of what it could be. Try to purchase small plants with no wilted or curled leaves from a reputable source. Add composted cow manure, lime and epsom salts to the topsoil and mulch with hay. Do not pinch suckers, as tomato plants have no suckers. This is where the fruit comes from. Water often and remove any wilted or diseased plants and do not place it in the compost bin, send it to the landfill and wash your hands with antibacterial soap so as not to contaminate any other plants.
