Bought a "Sweet 100" it's a version of a cherry tomato.
Planted in a pot.

Spotted this fertlizer (attached). Talked to one of the workers who told me,
"YEP!, it's what you think it is. The boss was afraid of any backlash.
Last year, we planted two green peppers...two pots...one with the "Special Sauce".
The results were night & day. That sold the deal."

BTW, yesterday the bags of different fertilizer were for sale.
The 420 stack was halfway down below the others.
It's also $13.99 a bag.
Is this a great country OR what?

I will enjoy any growing hints, personal tomato tales and what you are growing.

420

Recipe 420 is a blend of premium
aged fir bark, coir, sphagnum peat moss, pumice, earthworm castings,

fungi and beneficial soil bacteria.

Put this in your pot and smoke it.

Hahaha....I've planted the sweet 100...not bad if put in early, i think it's about an 80 day wait till pickings....here in TX it would bloom like crazy, but never go to fruit when it stayed over 85.....i now run strictly early girl maters...60 days on the pick, smaller tomatoes. ....but damn tasty.

I learned from this little old Cambodian woman to just bury a couple of small fish when planting. ..been doing that for 20 yrs with excellent results.....1 trip to the pond for a couple dozen perch and blue gills....only investment is a can of sweet corn, i use that same method for my jalapeños and cayenne peppers.

No pinch, no sweat.....and no stink

Now that was the kind of story that I wanted to hear.
I gotta remember the "fish" thing.
BTW, here is my first photo of the Sweet 100 with the pot filled with
420... We shall see.
Oh, what's with the can of corn?
Again, thanx for the response,

The corn.....that's how we catch the lil perch and bluegill fishys....fun with a splash of free fertilizer.

Corn, huh?
My Uncle Ed taught me how to fish for bluegill and crappie.
Except he put a "white button" from a dress shirt thru the hook as bait.
The barb usually kept the button on the hook.
It caught a lot of fish.

Yea man, my Uncle Ed taught me how to ride a horse, saddle up, gallop
and all the rest. I was in his high end Chrysler at 100 MPH when he outran a cop. Worked 2 weeks every summer for 3 years in his local grocery store. Always had time for me... I was 10-12 yrs. old.
