--------------3174832F6916B4EB41F03E75 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am new to growing tomatoes, and would appreciate if someone could answer a the following questions for me. I planted 24 plants on the 27th October, and would like to know how often I should water these plants. I read that tomatoes don't like a lot of water until a few weeks before picking. I have not mulched the ground yet, but check my soil to make sure they do not dry out, and at this stage am watering by soaker hose/or watering can every 2 days. Our temp. is roughly low 20 C or high 50's low 60's F in South Australia at the moment. My Ph is around 5.5 maybe nearer to 5 though. Do I increase this with Lime? Should I use one of the tomato plant foods at this early stage of their development? They seem to have new leaves forming and look healthy since transplanting. I really would appreciate any help or information you can offer. Thank you in anticipation Jude tylar@chariot.net.au --------------3174832F6916B4EB41F03E75 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">I am new to growing tomatoes, and would appreciate if someone could answer a the following questions for me.
