This is my first serious attempt to get a lot of tomatoes out of a container so I've been feeling my way along with no small amount of help from the peeps here.

I last fed the plant on 5 July. According to the latest forecast tomorrow should top out at 93 before temps cool off after. It looks like the heat wave will not be as severe as first predicted so that is great news.

I'm thinking of feeding them a light dose Wed. morning and then follow with a weekly light dose as has been suggested.

Now supporting the plant is becoming more of a situation that will need to be resolved. I have it in a standard cone type cage but the top of the plant is now eye level. I'm handy with lashing poles together so I'm thinking about cobbling up something myself for cheap as usual.

I didn't expect to have this much fun stressing over a plant this summer. Fun is where a person finds it.
