I have been using Miracle Grow for Tomatoes but my wife has 
some stuff by Peters Fertilizer called Blossom Booster and I think 
it is 10-5-10. You say use half strength? How often? Every two 
weeks? I will be using it on plants in containers and so far the 
plants are doing well but those hot days we had certainly helped.

Another question: after transplanting the plants several of the 
plants developed pods and I picked them off feeling that they would 
affect the plants from "getting settled". They are in about a month 
now and more of them have pods, should I leave them on? It seems 
to early for me to get a harvest.
