Re: [MittleiderMethodGardening] tomato troubles
Toms usually want 55f, and some only 50F, but for 4 nights (and days) straight to set fruit. (Tomatoes need warm temperatures to grow and set fruit. They are dormant below about 60 degrees. Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 90 degrees, with a differential of 15+ degrees between night and day - Jim Kennard)
Autumn is the time to buy garden goodies on sale.'
Get a min-max thermometer... preferably with a remote unit.
Outdoor units often need protection from rain, oddly, and sun will mislead them.
Taylor LaCrosse are two big names. Home Depot, OSH, et al have these.
Of course they need fertilization. An old elec toothbrush can sub for a bumblebee.
(Honey bees tend to be unable to fert toms, but can help curcurbits!) (Tomatoes are self-pollinating and need no help other than some movement of the vines occasionally - Jim Kennard)
I assume your CA is adequate. (Make sure that you have the Pre-Plant Mix in the soil, and that you supplement it every 8 weeks. Also, add the Weekly Feed before planting and weekly thereafter. Applications are 1 oz/ft for PP and 1/2 oz/ft for WF - Jim Kennard
