New to tomatoes!
Hi all, this is my first time growing tomatoes, and I’m a little confused at what I’m seeing, hopefully you all might have some wisdom?
I have 2 15 gallon containers that I’ve started growing tomatoes in, both set up the same way: 8 parts organic raised bed mix to 2 parts compost/work casings. My happy looking tomatoes are cherry tomatoes, but my gloomy, sad tomatoes are 1 roma and 1 bushboy. I have been trying to get my sad tomatoes in a better state but after about 2 weeks I am wondering if I need to change up how I am treating them. I started by adding fast acting sulfur (soil reading at about 6.8 now) and by spraying plants with an organic pesticide (containing a small amount of neem oil and potassium salts). They seemed to do better but now they arent progressing. To make matters worse the one plant had 2 big stems chewed off by bunnies!
Is there any hope for the 2 sad tomatoes plants or do I need to start anew? I feel bad for killing them!
