Hi there, I have some experience in particular plants, but I am new to the tomato gardening thing and I just planted four yellow tomato plants. Do you have any gardening tips to get quick results?

You don't say where you are, and that's essential information.
Also, did you plant them indoors or outside? If inside, keep them warm. If outside, you might cover the spots with a plastic bottle (cut it in half, and work it a bit into the soil). It will make a miniature greenhouse and warm the soil. If you didn't do any soil preparation, it's not quite too late. Get some 5-10-10 fertilizer (or something similar) and scratch it into the soil around the plants. Add compost if you have it or can get it. If the seeds are inside, prepare your bed by adding fertilizer, compost and peat moss. Lime the soil if it is acidic. Use ground limestone at this point, since pellets won't have an effect for weeks.

This is rather long, but just keep reading. With any luck it will be Fall before you're done, and you'll have the winter to plan.

Great advice- all of it, but I WISH I had this much compost!
