Using Natural Blood Meal on our tomato plants!
I've never really been interested in using plant food in the garden. I always thought of it as the easy way out.
That also could explain why my gardens haven't done their best in the past!
Sometimes you need a little help & I got it unexpectedly this year. One day, our neighbor brought over a bag of plant food. He used it in his garden in the past & suggested we use it in ours.
Up until this point, our tomatoes were kind of struggling. We had started them from seeds super late & they were still super small when we put them in the garden.
Once the tomatoes were in the garden, we had quite a few that were starting to struggle. Instead of growing, they began to look like they would die. We even replaced a few plants that did end up dying.
So when our neighbor brought over the plant food, I was ready to try anything.
I placed a small spoonful of the Natural Blood Meal around each tomato plant. Since it was hot outside that day, I waited until the evening to water everything.
Then I started seeing results. I wish I had before & after pictures because the results were excellent! It's been about 3 or 4 weeks since I applied the plant food & the tomatoes have grown so fast!
This was one tomato that had basically a stick stem & look at it now! It came back from the (almost) dead!
I've never had tomato plants this big, let alone this early in the growing season! I think it's a combination of planting in actual soil & adding Natural Blood Meal to the plants. Whatever it is, the tomatoes are doing great!
I love it when the garden does well & this year is off to a fantastic start! I hope it continues in the right direction!
