Tomato Tips!
It's time to plant your garden, here are some tips to make sure you have the best tomato harvest!
1. Pinch off the lower leaves and plant tomatoes deep, they will root off of the stem and establish much faster. This also helps promote thicker sturdier stems. Tomatoes need staking, get cages on early.
2. Tomatoes like it HOT, 80 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night, use season starters AKA walls-o-water to help get warmer temps earlier and fruit sooner!
3. Fertilize, tomatoes are heavy feeders. Apply when first planted and continue throughout the season.
4. Apply Agricultural Lime when planting tomatoes, this helps prevent blossom end rot, the black bottoms on the fruit.
5. Use Fertilome Tomato and Pepper Set, in event of cooler temperatures this helps promote flowering, produces larger fruits and speeds up ripening up to 3 weeks. Begin spraying once the flowers open and continue weekly until fruit begins to form.
