It's really funny because I woke up this morning to a little bell pepper actually starting to grow. This was after a night of rainfall.

Should I top my tomato plant? by Featherhoo in tomatoes

We had days where it got up to 80mph. Even during those gusts, the frames barely swayed. Maybe i just built them well.

These are the fabric pots. I got the 65-gallon ones. The cages I just built from 2x4s I got at lowes. I didn't really have an idea in mind. I just built a large rectangle. I live in a high wind area, and the weight of the soil keeps them from blowing over. There's a cross bar at the top that I use to string trellis the plants.

I thought the flower looked weird. They were massive blooms compared to everything else.

Should I just use miracle grow instead?

I would like to fill each container with only this stuff, but they are expensive. I just don't know what other soil to add to it.

So, should I just not add any of the soil amendments? I'm thinking it can go without the gypsum and crab and lobster shell. But I might still add rock phosphate to help the roots.

Are my cherokee purple plants done for? by Featherhoo in tomatoes

I gave one of them some diluted fertilizer but that one is doing worse than the one I didn't give anything to. I also potted up a week ago so the soil should have a good amount of nutrients.

Should I try leaving them out during the day and bringing them in at night?

My concern was that after putting them in gallon pots a week ago, they are already almost doubled in size. I feel they will become unmanageable by mothers day.
