How is that G20 treating you?
I have only recently been acquainted with Graze On.Nope. Nothing but hay and cow manure that had been piled up for the last 6 months.
Daily watering keeps them hanging on, but it the soil dries at all they immediately start to curl. Lost one of the 6 early on. Got another that is really borderline, and the last 4 look bad but the lower leaves hold a healthy appearance as long as they remain constantly watered.
Only other idea is that they were diseased when purchased.
Also, no herbicides have been used that could have washed or been carried to them.
Have you thought about transplanting them to some different soil, or even some potting soil?
Try moving them to a different location first, if they are sticking above ground 6-8 inches now, clip off the lower leaves, plant about 4 inches deeper, the little "hairs" on the stalk will become new roots if they survive. ALSO, once your plants become 2 ft. tall or so, and you began to prune them, take some of the longer trimmings, remove at least 4 inches of the leaves for a clean stem, dig a small hole to plant these trimmed pieces in. Water well, you should get new plants from these stems to create FREE plants and extend your harvest. I've had a 90% success rate with this method!
Heirlooms or hybrid tomato’s? I’ve had mixed success with heirlooms.
Heirlooms.
What are suckers?
Decided to try out some Miracle-Gro fertilizer this year on my garden plants. Just mixed up it with the water and poured it onto the soil. Easy peasy!
Upside is, most all of my garden vegetables are in containers.I know a lot of folks use chemical fertilizer but I’d advise against it long term. It is very hard on your soil and while it will feed your plants, it will wreak havoc on the ground.
Look at the organic options like compost or products from Medina or Fox Farm. Both companies make excellent stuff.
And if you really want good plants, fish compost, bat guano and worm castings can’t be beat! And sprinkle
Epsom salt around the tomatoes once they are established.
