Doesn't look so bad to me. "Tipped the pot twice and water came out"????? Is there no drain holes in bottom? There has to be drain holes in the pot to prevent overwatering.

I agree with Klem1 - doesn't look so bad to me. Maybe it got a little too much wind. I know in my area of the state, it got windy mid-morning every day this past week.

No good has ever come of those attached saucers;

hit it with a hammer & knock it off your flowerpot.

For the most part I agree sylvia. I set some plants in unglazed saucers to prevent roots growing into earth below. They can save wood window stools,table or carpet but water shouldn't be left standing. The saucer should be much larger than pot so you see water draining from pot. If there is an abundance of water it should be removed. The saucer helps one see when they are overwatering.

A saucer at the bottom of a pot is a great way to keep a plant watered when you cannot be around all the time to keep it from drying out, but they usually work better on larger pots and on established plants, or in other words, make sure the saucer does not hold too much water for a certain sized plant. I use 5 gallon and larger pots with water saucers without any problems at all on my tomatoes and peppers, and all my other plants except succulents. When using a water pan under the plant, the deeper the pot, the better, .

I also use saucers, but they are about an inch wider than the large pots they sit under to help the soil absorb the water they stand in rather than the water running down the inside of a pot when the soil has dried with the result of never getting the soil wet. However, the pot doesn't often fill up with water and have to be tipped to drain. In the rare event where it does a stick is stuck up drain hole/holes to release any packed soil that is keeping the water from draining. Or if the bottom of the pot is very flat and the saucer has no ridges a few pebbles are placed so there is not a seal between the pot and the saucer.

I agree sitting plants in a few inches of water is a good way to bridge an absence in watering scedule. Where I see problems is repeated/continual/prolonged saturation of soil at bottom of pot. Unhealty things grow in saturated soil. Roots seek moisture then acumilate at bottom where they clog holes and become vonerible if and when nasties start growing in wet soil. Alot depends on composition of soil.

I'm using Kellogg's organic potting mix. My tomato is doing ok. I put it where I know it'll get more sun to help dry it out when needed. It's been drizzling once a week or so so I haven't needed to water it :) I'll have to post another picture.

How often should I feed it? I put some fertilizer when I first transferred it.

Let's just say I'm new to trying to grow "maters" correctly. lol I have a fertilizer Called Hasta Grow I believe. I think it's 6-12-6. I also have some seaweed and molasses that is supposed to be for foliar feedings. Then I've heard it's good to used Epsom salts for tomatoes and peppers. So yeah :\ I do good with flowers and vegetable plants (notice I said plant not actual veggies lol) But once summer hits almost all of them die. When it comes to fruits and vegetables I'll have a few fruits on the plant but they never get very big. I'm trying to grow most stuff in containers due to space and am going to try and put some raised beds in my backyard for peppers, melons, cucumbers and beans. I don't want to overwhelm the plant with feeding it but I want to make sure it's getting enough food also. :)

This tomato plant looks healthy too me. Just be careful that it's not soaked in water for too long. Plants drown like humans if the roots does not get access to oxygen. and tomatoes can take some drought if they have to. It may affect the fruiting though. Covering up the plant with a pot or some fleece if its gets cold is a good idea. I do the same. Good luck!

You could use a LOT more mix in that pot. It looks half empty. Trim off the lowest branches if necessary, and get more of the stem in contact with the soil. Roots will form out of the stem. Common practice when transplanting tomatoes is to bury deeply, with just the foliage sticking out. That's a small pot for a tomato, and it's especially small if it is only half full of soil. Your productivity will scale with the size of the plant, and the size of the plant will scale with how many roots you've got. If you need to use a pot, you could consider transplanting into a bigger one. Remember that when you pour fertilizer in the pot, it's eventually just going to run out the bottom. More roots pick up more fertilizer before it does that.

The pot is actually really big. I forgot to bury it deeper. I'm going to throw some more potting mix in. Here are some pictures :) in the last picture should I remove that last set of leaves. I've removed a few from the bottom already. I just didn't know how much higher I should go. I've also removed any suckers I've seen popping up in the little "V" areas. Should I remove that one in the first picture between where the main stem turns into a Y? Thanks! :)
