a wheat straw mulch helps to keep the roots damp

epoma organic fert is wonderful ..... it makes the mycorrhizae happy and does not burn the plants

you can tell if the plants are happy if the leaves have a slight blue green color

prune the plants to promote good air circulation around them

if the conditions were right to produce other tomatoes you should have the conditions to
produce cherokee purple or black krim tomatoes
