Topic: Feeding outdoor tomatoes when it's raining

[aquilegia]

I've got tom feed that says feed with every other watering, which I have been dutifully doing. They were watered with two pints of water every evening.

Yesterday they were due for a feeding, but it chucked it down (they are all outside), so I didn't water.

Should I carry on watering them, even when it's raining, so they can be fed?

Should I water less than before but give them a stronger solution of feed?

Or what?

(most of them are in half grow bags, stood upright, as Tim does. A few are straight in the ground)

I am afraid I am a bad girl when it comes to feeding my toms....I forget a lot of the time, so mine get rather random feeds! I wouldn't bother, they can survive missing a few days food! (and I would imagine if you did feed them it would just wash away!)  DP

I would suggest that, since the bags will be shielded by the foliage, you should water whatever. Add a touch of feminine intuition!! = Tim

And the prod soil with the finger test Tim?! ;D
