These tomato plants in the containers were supposed to be of modest size. Its still pretty early in the season and they are over 7 feet tall. Only now are they starting to grow really fast. If we can nurse them through October, that will mean they have two more months to grow. Our plants are regularly top dressed with compost and roach manure which seems to give them a real kick. The soil has great drainage and much of our moisture has been provided by the rain which is great. We keep them mulched to retain moisture. Other than that there are no fertilizers or chemicals. We have plenty of beneficial insects on the property so there is no need. They just wont quit and are producing more fruit than we can eat.
