Growing Tomatoes

What to do next?

18 years ago

Okay, I have about forty tomato plants set out some heirlooms some not. I need to know what to do next . I have them in regular garden dirt, first year, no amendments but I did fertilize them when I set them out and I have showered them with Miracle Grow twice. They are growing really good.

What should I do next? Do I wait for bugs and diseases or should I try to prevent them and if so how?

Do I mulch and with what.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Mulch them with the organic material of your choice - I prefer straw or hay, establish some other way to water them as needed rather than overhead sprinklers or showers, stop the fertilizing for now, and wait. That's the hard part. ;) While waiting, do some homework on how to grow tomatoes. Check out the link below.

Oh, and I assume you have them staked or caged, right? If not, you need to get it done now too.
