Well I think its time to bring all of you up to date on my tomato raisin. It's not going so well. I've learned a lot about growing tomatoes this year. The first thing I have learned is that I stink at it! I planted about 12 plants total. Of those twelve I have 1/2 that may produce a frew scrawny tomatoes. We picked two from the patio plant that I have. They tasted just fine. Last Friday I mixed up the Miricle-Gro just like the directions said to do. I poured the concoction over the plants and by Sunday they were pretty well burt up. So lessons learned to date :
1. Don't plant tomatoes in pots, then place the pots where they get a lot of sun.
2. Water them a little every day, not a lot once a week.
3. Leave the liquid fertilizer alone. Or if you can't,mix it at 1/8th strength
4. Shade is good for potted tomatoes. The dirt in the pots gets too hot.
5. Tomatoes will grow upside down.
6. Find a Farmers Market so you can have all the tomatoes you want.
Stay tuned.....
