Giving Your Garden The Very Best

Is a tomato a fruit or vegetable? Actually it's both, and it's also full of health benefits like vitamin A, C, K, potassium, fiber and a rich source of antioxidants. Tomatoes are relatively easy to cultivate and grow pretty quickly - you can grow them in a raised bed or larger grower container.

Prevent Blossom End Rot At Planting Time

Blossom-end rot is a common issue that's caused by a calcium imbalance within the plant that can occur in tomatoes, as well as peppers, cucumbers, squash and melon fruits. To help prevent this, use 1-2 tablespoons of Gypsum in the soil at planting time.

Note: *Be sure to add a large tomato cage for much needed support. Remember to feed your tomatoes throughout the growing season with E.B. Stone Organic Tomato & Vegetable Food and water regularly. Best to feed every 6-8 weeks.
