Gita & Jill, I plant them in very humus rich soil mixed with organic fertilizer with Myco, Kelp, Alfalfa, coffee grounds & and then water them in with with Biotone & Organica plant boost beneficial microbes. I grow them in pots, so there is more nutrient and mineral loss. I add minerals to the soil and fertilize bi-weekly with 5-5-5 and some fish emulsion or liquid kelp. They have a lot of blossums right now and most have some fruit. They are a good bit smaller than last year but then, they self started later. Last year I had ripe tomatoes by the second week in June. I used the wall -o-waters and cold frames for them and had sturdy 1 foot tall plants by the beginning of April. I took this photo at the beginning of last week.
