Message: [QUOTE="sledog, post: 3245775, member: 195"] Here in August, the tomatoes should be raring to pick. But they are not maturing well. Not sure if it's because I planted late (late June - cold weather), or not enuf fertilizer along the way. While the soil was prepped, I used a garden fabric this year to keep the weeds down. Unfortunately, that made it tuff to apply fertilizer thru the tiny openings for the stems. So after a few weeks of surgical applications, I just thru it on the fabric thinking / hoping rain and irrigation would dissolve and pass thru the fabric to the soil / roots. Maybe not?? ps - fabric seemed a good way to avoid lots of bending, etc. Had hip replace this spring. [/QUOTE]
