Gave tomatoes 5mls of 'Phostrogen Plant Food' between them, in 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of water. A few of the flowers have now set, though it is still rather early. But I wanted to give them some water and feed to get some leaf growth.
When I look at everyone else's tomatoes, I feel quite ashamed; even though I know that too much leaf growth is not a good thing. But mine do look positively scrawny in comparison.
Apart from this, the tomatoes have not been watered since planting out, apart from rainfall. So much for developing a deep root system. It is proving difficult to dry them out.
If I let them dry out with the fruits on them, it will cause splitting. But it might be worth sacrificing (they can still be used) some fruits to get deep roots, even at this stage.
