Fertilizing Question

15 years ago

I am not sure whether or not i should fertilize my tomatoes. Grown from seed, potted up into miracle-gro potting soil. I transplanted them about two weeks ago into my raised beds. They were blooming profusely when i transplanted and a couple had some very small tomatoes on them as well. They almost all have tomatoes on them now, most have 4 or 5. They average about 16" tall. They have also exploded in size since i planted them. Some have almost doubled. Lots of new foliage. The beds are brand new and the soil mix that i bought and put in them was fairly hot. Quite a bit of manure compost. I actually soaked them profusely a few times to try to dilute it a bit (not sure it that actually works). All i added at transplanting was bone meal, and watered them in well.

I say all of that to ask this. Should i fertilize them now, or in the next couple of weeks, or at all? My concern is that if i fertilize, i may run into a problem i've had before of too much nitrogen leading to ridiculously huge dense plants and hardly a bloom.

Any opinions?
