Answer 2

try some miracle grow, or horse fertilizer, or you can compost items like egg shells and coffee grinds and use those as organic fertilizer! Hope that helps you out!

Answer 3

Do not whatever you do feed these plants all purpose miracle grow as suggested,...Once the plants are already established and fixing to bloom it will give you all leaves and fruits...You want a high pottasium and phospherous fertilizer  at this stage..The guy before also mentioned the epsom salt and it is great for all plants..gives them magnesium and sulfer..and also makes them intake the nitrogen and phospherous into thier roots that is in the ground already...I use "bloom Booster" which is put out by miracle grow(scotts) for the phospherous and pottasium, just do not use ALL PURPOSE MIRACLE GROW...Heres pictures of my tomatoes and watermelons using this method..and a picture of the bloom booster...

I use Tomatorite by Levington.  Thanks for the reminder I am going to feed mine now.

Answer 5

it's kinda late to start planting tomatoes & watermelons.  add some compost to the current soil & mix together.  plant the seedlings & mulch well.  get an earlier start next year.

Answer 6

When you water tomatoes you can mix up some powdered milk, (cheap brand, follow pkg. directions) They add extra calcium (for plant growth) Two tablespoons of Epsom salts per gal. for blooms, Two tablespoons per gal Baking soda (kills soil acid and makes tomatoes sweeter). Good Luck.    These are items you may already have and are way cheaper than packaged products.
