Sharon Catania on Jun 10, 2014I have all of my tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets and containers. They are doing very well, but my plan is to put them out front with 6 hrs of sun as soon as the nights warm up. I did this last year and had a great success, except it was hard to get to my front door. Right now I cover some of them with a blanket cover during the night, and the others go back into my greenhouse. I use a great fertilizer once a week called "Tiger Bloom", and I swear by it for all my plants.Helpful Reply
