Hi all -
I decided on this formula for fertilizing:

a little osmocote every two weeks,
a little manure & compost once a month
watering a LOT right now because of the heat

Before we had 2 days of 100 degree temps, in April, Monday & Tuesday of this week, my plants were mostly doing great. My early varieties, early wonder, jetsetter, silvery fir tree, elfin are growing VERY slowly. My mid-season tomatoes are big and have lots of flowers. My late season toms are big with no flowers. Of course, now that we have had the heat wave, I am fully expecting no fruit from any of these and will be waiting with fingers crossed to see what happens with the temperatures in May.

I am resolved to sow my seeds on Christmas Eve this year

I won't be outdone by this heat.
