[quote=Anonymous]Google the variety. It will tell you the nature of the plant-deteminate or indeterminate, and the days to maturity I cage my plants, though I have extra-large, sturdy metal cages. The ones sold at the hardware stores are too puny for the large, indeterminate plants I grow. Add some organic matter like Leafgro to the beds. I use Tomato-tone, but any balanced fertilizer for vegetables will do. Adding some calcium to the soil will help prevent blossom end rot. Put down a good layer of mulch, preferably straw or hay if you can find it. The place I buy my plants from recommends 5 inches of mulch, but I do about 3 inches. Try to avoid splashing the leaves while watering to avoid spreading fungal disease.[/quote]
