Hello,
It is my first year to grow tomato. It is beefsteak and I plant one in a 20" planter. I used "Whiteney Farm" organic all purpose plant food. I read that using organic fertilizer I don't have to worry about overfertilize because it is regulated by the microbes or sth machnism like that. I bought a tomato cage from HD which has 4 rings and 3 stalks. Now, the tomato plant grows to almost the tallest ring but I haven't got any flower not saying fruit. I'm wondering whether I should prune the plant, ie cut some tips? When, where and how? My plant may only get 4 hours afternoon sun. It is the best I can do with my location. How bad will this affect the flowering and production?
Really anxious. Some tomato plants on HD shelf start to bear green tomatos. I guess their living condition may not be as good as my tomato. It is much crowded there and the plant is much shorter. Though the finding is encouraging, it also makes me wonder whether I miss sth in growing my tomato.
Thanks for your advice!
Frank
