Turning Over a New Leaf

(pun in title intended) Now that Spring is in the air, we are trying to spiffy up our yards and enjoy them a little more. While walking through Costco the other night they were selling tomato plants. I picked one up and thought I try to make it not die. I am not a horticulturist by any means. I have never grown anything of value. I cannot even figure out how to program my sprinklers, but I am going to try to give this a go. Show me some sweet Heartland Tomatoes!

this is what I've got.....

...and this is what I want to get.
