How to fertilize Cherry Tomato
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cherry Tomato after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Luna hates the wind and low humidity. I have thrown every economical idea to combat it. Always stresses in the evening. Today high of 78 windy and 25% humidity.

Is this normal? My cherry tomato has become a shade princess, is this normal? Its real protective of new top vegetation and its future flowers. It could still be the humidity and wind also, in the sun the top veg sweats and becomes really delicate and im afraid and just give it morning sun and partial shade.
-
Sodium toxicity? I was in a pinch on a windy day and wanted to mulch the top of my cherry tomatoes and used rice husks with no info about how they were processed. Could they introduce a sodium toxicity? Im trying to diagnose a transplant shock or water problem. Plus the cost of straw and the waisted leftovers.

Spring is finally about to start and my first herb garden is progressing. They all seem very happy today after a rough early spring. Rosemary not pictured but shes happy
-
Edema She has started to develop edema and the stem curls late after noon. It will be raining and down to mid 45’s again. Could Inwait until Thursday to transplant? With size of container it seems plausible that it has outgrown it.

Are they okay?
