Hi starrywishes - you might want to post this question in a different spot than in the photo section. You'll get a lot more responses. There's all sorts of stuff you could use - Miracle Grow has a Tomato & Vegetable time-released one you could use and there's another one named Tomato Tone that many of us like to use.

tom-ato: when did you plant these toms? And did you start them from seed?

babice,

I bought the tomato starts from a local arboretum that has an annual tomato and pepper plant sale. I planted out in the raised beds on April 4th.

Wow tom-ato. That's really very awesome! You musta worked your tail off getting those beds ready! And you put me to shame because I started from seed and then I STILL didn't get the darned things planted until early this month. I just can't believe how amazingly healthy those all are. I'm going to take a look at your list for my list next year!
