I planted 4 Bush Goliaths an Early Girl Bush and a Better Bush in containers around the middle to early part of May. I used a potting soil that says it will feed up to 3 months. I now have about 4 to 5 small(golf ball size) fruit on my Early Girl and about 6 to 7 tennis sized fruit on my better bush and all the rest are flowering profusely. My question is do I need to fertilize with tomato fertilizer as I bought some when I purchased the plants?? Or do I just let them go until early to middle august?? I live in the south so I'm going to have a fairly long growing season.
Sjoerd posted a really good post on that last week. It's in the vegetable garden site I think. Have a look and see if you can find it. dooley
That helps but....... That article really helped out a lot but I guess my main question is since the soil already has extended relese fertilizer in it do I need to add anymore or just leave it alone. I don't want to over fertilize them.
Those look really good an healthy, I think if it were me I would add if anything would be a little epsom salt. It will help the plant to continue to take up nutrients. I believe the rate is 1 tsp per foot of plant.
I have used a general vegetable and flower fertilizer, but perhaps you don't need to fertilize every week. You have a lot of tomatoes set already. Gardengater
This is the first time I've ever used miracle grow tomato fertilizer- AMAZING!! I swear I saw them sprout up right before my eyes Deanna :-D
