Sorry I missed this. My connection (satellite) is sooooooo slow some days! Grrrr!
When I get to the end of a gallon of milk and there’s an inch or so left, I fill it up to the top with water and water the tomatoes, zukes or cukes with it.
I don’t have an exact ‘recipe’ but no harm, no foul.
My best bets for tomato production are still powdered or liquid bone meal in the planting hole and a top dressing when the tomatoes are about 2’ tall, and AlgoFlash For Tomatoes as a general fertilizer a few times during the growing season.
I was kinda thinking that plan, too. So thanks for saying so. Gonna have a gallon coming up like that. Do I need to hit the peppers, too? Two good-sized tomato planters (small compared to real) and same with peppers.
I have 5 other starter groups going with organic pepper seeds (Orange), store-bought Anaheim seeds (hey I’ll give it a try) and the last three are pretty much tomato seeds (so far amazing growth - have 37 plants, some 3-6” or so in just 2.5 weeks.
My 3 Sweet Basil need to regrow after today. Left all baby leaves - probably 40-50. Nothing on Sweet Pepper or Better Boy yet. Gonna transplant Better Boy I guess, soon.
Oh and Bone Meal on order - small - 3-4 lbs. Should arrive Thursday.
Will probably start with the milk though.
Oh I went crazy with one of those 5 planters. Found carrot seeds for 50 cents at Walmart close-out. Soooooooooo small - I probably dropped 10-20 in some holes. Oops.
Oh well, I’ll separate them as they start to mature. My first package is almost all failures (maybe 6 tiny, tiny plants). Bad soil.
