I'm not seeing any difference in the vigor of the tomato plants with Osmocote vs Tomato Tone at this time. However, the tt peppers seem to be stronger, but it is still early in the season here.
The odd weather is throwing off my usual fertilizer regimen. Its been over 90 almost every day for a month, and that coincided with the transplants getting established. It was very dry which was a strain in itself, and now we settled into a pattern with heat soaking rains every few days (with the occasional twister about - hope all is well with you PaulF).
Is the Osmocote all gone? Burnt through in relentless heat or washed out? Tons of blossoms but I'm seeing a pause in fruit set due to the 100's for extended periods. More heat and every 4 days a downpour comes passing through.
A welcome change - no early blight this year. I thought it was the dry heat, but others are having a mild year. I believe Carolyn says it blows in. I usually have palm trees by now.
