Care of your new tomato plants: fertilizing

Tomato plant care:

    
     Proper tomato plant care is the key to having a great success in raising home-grown tomatoes.The ideal temperatures for growth are 70-75 degrees during the day and 65-67 degrees at night. When the plants reach 12 inches or more, they may need to be transplanted into one gallon containers. After 6 weeks or 8 weeks, your plants should be just about ready to begin fruiting them.

Tomato fertilizer:         

     The first thing we need to discuss in tomato plant care is the use of tomato fertilizer.

If you're like most gardener's, you'll want fruit quicker than what the plants usually produce. If you use a tomato blossom and set spray  a person can get fruit up to three weeks earlier than normal.
  Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!

     I like to use Miracle Grow to fertilize my indoor tomato garden. Their products for potted plants and container gardens are awesome. I use thier Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food  (about every 7 days.) Use this, and fresh tomatoes are just around the corner....

     Typically, when applying any water soluble fertilizer, apply directly to the tomato soil around the base of the tomato plant every 7-10 days. Make sure not to administer it over the tomato leaves. A tomato leaf doesn't react well to water sitting on its surface. This can lead to Tomato Blight.

     Follow these easy steps and you'll have tomato plants that are 6 feet high!! The problem  is that they get SO tall, I have trouble keeping them from falling over with all the weight from the fruit. Make sure to provide ample support for fruiting tomatoes with a tomato cage.
