[QUOTE="lynnmcmahan, post: 911241, member: 14607"] To grow good tomatoes; Dig a hole as deep as the first limb on the plant and snug it in. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons 13-13-13 around the plant at 6", no closer Sprinkle 1 tablespoon 0-0-60 around the plant at 6", no closer When the plant starts to bloom and every three weeks there after, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of calcium nitrate around the plant, you guessed it, 6", no closer. Apply mulch, I use black plastic around the plants which holds moisture and keeps down weeds. Tomatoes need about 8hrs of sun. It's good to spray every two or three weeks with a fungicide. Watch for stinkbugs and the tomato horn worm. Make sure you have good support for the vines. I plant about 20" apart and they develop a lot of foliage. It gets heavy. Make sure you have a lot of mayo and bacon on hand for those good 'ole BLT's. [/QUOTE]
