How to fertilize Wild 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 Wild Tomato after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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.

Just got my Big Beef tomato plant, now what? My reptiles have passed over the rainbow bridge and my home feels empty. I needed something to take care of so I bought a Big Beef plant at work. I dont really know anything about plants so I don't even know where to start. What soil do I use, pot size and type, fertilizer and the things I need to know with growing in the desert of Arizona. Thanks y'all.

Woah - water drops I watered and fertilized my tamarillos yesterday, and this evening I see that they have water drops at the tips of most of their leaves. I’ve never seen anything like this before, have you? Any idea what causes it, or if it’s just something peculiar about these plants? #waterdroplet #cocona #Tamarillo #mysterious #water
