Growing veggies in Florida

What fertilizer have you used in the past?Are you rotating your crops?

Are you putting them in pots or in the ground? We buy one plant of the cherry tomatoes every year and plant it in the ground along with our bigger tomatoes.......love eating the cherry size from the vine. We are from the midwest and use Miracle Grow fertilizer.......I would ask a local nursery or if there is an extension office near you, they would be able to help you. Fresh home grown big red tomatoes are the best!!!

Ask your nearby university extension. They can advise you as to proper date to plant and how you have to amend your soil. Or drive around and look for large garden plots in yards. Gardeners are usually a friendly bunch and can advise you as to what varieties do best in your area. I know the sun is hot there, so advice from the midwest won't apply. Good luck. There is nothing like a fresh tomato.

Drill holes in the tree and put salt in the holes. Rock salt or Jewish salt is better. If you can drill near the root this will be better. You can use gasoline, vinegar, or a product from a hardware. Salt is the best.

It sounds like you are planting the tomatoes by some plant it doesn't like. Good companions: Basil, oregano, parsley, chives, nasturtium, onions, carrots, celery, calendula, borage, geraniums. Bad companions: Cabbage family, fennel, potatoes, maize, and if you think it might be your soil try using mushroom compost (Black Velvet) from Lowe's or Walmart very reasonably priced. You can use the compost straight from the bag or mix it with your soil.
